ROWP C Negri, Gohor | Romania Wastewater

Overview

ROWP C Negri is a secondary treatment plant in Gohor, Galați, Romania, serving a small population of 50. It has a designed capacity of 2,500 m³/day and discharges 47.95 m³/day of treated wastewater.

ROWP C Negri is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Gohor, a commune in Galați County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 50 people and is designed to handle a capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 47.95 cubic meters per day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with EU effluent standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated wastewater pollution.

Environmental context

The plant discharges into the Siret River basin, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. The Siret River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in eastern Romania. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
