ROWP Apa Canal Nord Vest Bors Statia de epurare Parc Industrial Bors - Secondary Treatment Plant in Sântion, Romania

ROWP Apa Canal Nord Vest Bors Statia de epurare Parc Industrial Bors is a wastewater treatment plant located in Sântion, within the Borș industrial park near Oradea, Bihor County, Romania. The plant serves a population of 557 and has a designed capacity of 1,200 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 175.92 cubic meters per day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. Although the plant serves fewer than 2,000 people, it meets the secondary treatment benchmark, ensuring effective removal of organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Crișul Repede River, a tributary of the Körös River system, which flows into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River and Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the aquatic environment of the Crișul Repede basin, supporting biodiversity and water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Crișul Repede River basin, which flows through western Romania and Hungary before joining the Körös River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Pannonian Basin. The treated effluent helps maintain water quality in the downstream Tisza and Danube rivers, ultimately reaching the Black Sea.
