ROWP CL Beceni Wastewater Treatment Plant - Gura Dimienii, Buzău, Romania

ROWP CL Beceni is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Gura Dimienii, Beceni, Buzău County, Romania. It serves a small population of 390 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. The plant is part of Romania's national wastewater infrastructure, which is aligned with European Union standards. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 1,800 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 31.73 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a small agglomeration under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), secondary treatment meets the minimum requirement for inland freshwater discharges. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse within the Buzău River basin, which flows into the Siret River and ultimately the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems in the Danube basin.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Buzău River, part of the Siret River basin, which flows into the Danube River and then the Black Sea. The Buzău River supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and recreation. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, safeguarding the river's ecological health and the downstream Danube Delta, a sensitive ecosystem.
