ROWP Compania AQUASERV SA SUC IERNUT is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Iernut, Mureș County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 6,369 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 9,642 cubic meters per day, discharging an average volume of 878.67 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and sedimentation to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The treated effluent is released into the local watershed, which drains into the Mureș River, a major tributary of the Tisza River, ultimately flowing into the Danube River and the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the Mureș River basin from pollution, supporting aquatic life and downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Mureș River basin, which flows into the Tisza River and then the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is important for regional biodiversity. The secondary treatment process helps reduce nutrient and organic loads, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
