Overview
PRATA_VIA_BATTISTINE is a primary treatment plant serving 1,100 people in Prata di Pordenone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. It discharges 217.76 m³/day of treated wastewater into local waterways.
PRATA_VIA_BATTISTINE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Prata di Pordenone, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 1,100 residents and has a designed capacity of 1,200 m³/day, with an average daily discharge of 217.76 m³/day. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes like sedimentation to remove solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent are generally required to provide appropriate treatment, which may include primary treatment for inland discharges. The plant operates within Italy's national implementation of this directive. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Livenza river system. The region's waterways support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and recreation. Proper treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems and water quality in the Adriatic coastal zone.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Livenza river basin, which flows southward through the Friuli-Venezia Giulia plain and into the Adriatic Sea near Caorle. The downstream environment includes sensitive coastal lagoons and wetlands that support migratory birds and fish species. Primary treatment reduces suspended solids but may not fully remove nutrients, so the plant's discharge contributes to the nutrient load in the watershed, which is managed under regional water protection plans.
Frequently asked questions
PRATA_VIA_BATTISTINE is located at 128 Via Peressine in Prata di Pordenone, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy.
The plant serves approximately 1,100 residents in the Prata di Pordenone area.
The plant discharges treated effluent into local watercourses that flow into the Livenza river system, which ultimately reaches the Adriatic Sea.
The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes like sedimentation to remove settleable solids. For small agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent, the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive allows appropriate treatment based on local conditions.
The plant operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets treatment standards based on population size and receiving water sensitivity. For small inland plants, primary treatment may be sufficient to meet environmental objectives.
