ROWP COMUNA ROMOS ev2 Romosel - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Romoșel, Romania

ROWP COMUNA ROMOS ev2 Romosel is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the village of Romoșel, part of the Romoș commune in Hunedoara County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 295 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. It is situated inland, far from the coast, and its operations are part of Romania's national wastewater infrastructure under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU UWWTD for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 600 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 23.46 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating it is sized for potential future growth or seasonal peaks. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Mureș River, a major tributary of the Tisza River, which flows into the Danube and then the Black Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the local watershed and downstream aquatic ecosystems from untreated wastewater pollution, supporting water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into small streams that feed into the Mureș River, which flows through the Carpathian Basin into the Tisza River and eventually the Danube Delta and Black Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a region known for its biodiversity. The plant's secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants, helping to maintain the ecological health of these water bodies.
