SOIMA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Cassacco, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

SOIMA is a wastewater treatment plant located at Via Soima in Cassacco (Cjassà), within the Udine province of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. The facility serves a small population of 224 people and operates with advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent standards. The plant has a designed capacity of 1900 cubic meters per day and currently discharges an average volume of 326.08 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily. As an advanced treatment facility, it meets stringent Italian and EU regulatory requirements for nutrient removal and pollutant reduction, typical for plants in sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Tagliamento River basin. This region supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is part of the broader Po Valley watershed, which is ecologically significant for migratory fish and wetland species.

The SOIMA plant discharges into the Tagliamento River basin, one of the last morphologically intact river systems in the Alps, which flows into the Gulf of Venice in the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including rare fish species and migratory birds. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in a region known for its ecological sensitivity and agricultural importance.
