Overview
Renazze wastewater treatment plant serves San Vito Chietino in Abruzzo, Italy, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population equivalent of 8,000. It operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
Renazze is a wastewater treatment plant located in San Vito Chietino, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. It serves a population equivalent of 8,000 and has a designed capacity of 1.00, indicating it is a medium-sized facility for a small coastal town. The plant is situated near the Adriatic coast, within 50 km of the sea. As an Italian plant, Renazze operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the discharge enters sensitive areas, such as coastal zones. Compliance with EU standards is expected. The treated effluent from Renazze likely discharges into a local watercourse that flows into the Adriatic Sea, supporting the marine ecosystem of the central Adriatic coast. The plant plays a key role in protecting the coastal waters and the biodiversity of the region, including fish and migratory bird species.
Environmental context
Renazze discharges into a local stream or river that drains into the Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed basin with limited water exchange. The coastal waters of Abruzzo support diverse marine life, including seagrass meadows and fish nurseries. The plant's location near the coast means its effluent must meet stringent standards to prevent eutrophication and protect the sensitive marine environment.
