Overview
ROWP CUP Dunarea Braila SE Movila Miresii is a primary treatment plant serving 82 people in Scorțaru Nou, Romania. It discharges 31.28 m³/day of treated wastewater.
ROWP CUP Dunarea Braila SE Movila Miresii is a wastewater treatment plant located in Deșirați, Scorțaru Nou, Brăila County, Romania. The facility serves a small population of 82 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 4,997 m³/day, though current utilization is low relative to capacity. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes like sedimentation to remove settleable solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) below 2,000 are subject to less stringent requirements, and primary treatment may be considered appropriate for such small communities. The plant's discharge volume of 31.28 m³/day reflects the small population served. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European river that flows into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant's location inland, away from the coast, reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall nutrient load in the Danube watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The Danube supports a rich diversity of fish species and provides critical habitat for migratory birds. The Black Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with sensitive ecosystems, including coastal wetlands and marine life, that can be affected by nutrient pollution from upstream sources.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Deșirați, Scorțaru Nou, Brăila County, Romania.
The plant serves a small community of 82 residents.
The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that are part of the Danube River basin, eventually reaching the Black Sea.
The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes such as sedimentation to remove solids. For very small agglomerations under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, primary treatment may be sufficient.
Romania, as an EU member state, implements the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For small agglomerations (under 2,000 PE), the directive requires appropriate treatment, which can be primary treatment. The plant's discharge is regulated to protect the Danube River basin and the Black Sea.
