SAN BARTOLOMEO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Cassino, Lazio, Italy

SAN BARTOLOMEO is a wastewater treatment facility located in the San Bartolomeo area of Cassino, in the Lazio region of Italy. The plant serves a small population of approximately 2,000 residents, reflecting its role in a local community within the broader Frosinone province. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of effluent quality. With a designed capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day and a daily discharge volume of 395.93 cubic meters, it operates well within its capacity. As an Italian facility, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which mandates appropriate treatment levels for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tyrrhenian Sea via the Liri-Garigliano river system. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the downstream aquatic environment and supports the ecological health of the region's waterways.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Liri River, which flows into the Garigliano River and ultimately reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea. The downstream area supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a watershed that provides water for agriculture and local communities. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in coastal waters.
