Overview
ROWP CL DUMBRAVENI is a secondary treatment plant serving Dumbrăveni, Suceava, Romania. It treats wastewater for a population of 996 with a designed capacity of 4460 m³/day.
ROWP CL DUMBRAVENI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Dumbrăveni, Suceava County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 996 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Romanian and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4460 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 95.04 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea, making the plant's performance relevant to downstream water quality in the Danube basin and the Black Sea ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Siret River basin, which flows into the Danube and then the Black Sea. The Siret River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The Black Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with sensitive ecological conditions, including hypoxia in its northwestern shelf, making nutrient removal from wastewater critical for preventing eutrophication.
