Overview
ROWP Primaria Teliucu Inferior is a secondary treatment plant serving Teliucu Superior, Romania. It discharges 41.07 m³/day of treated wastewater and has a designed capacity of 2,500 m³/day.
ROWP Primaria Teliucu Inferior is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Teliucu Superior, Hunedoara County, Romania. The plant serves a population of 855 and operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 2,500 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 41.07 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth. As a small agglomeration, it meets the EU directive's requirements for secondary treatment. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse, likely part of the Mureș River basin, which flows into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River and Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems in the Hunedoara region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Mureș River, part of the Tisza-Danube basin that drains into the Black Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The secondary treatment process reduces organic pollution, helping to maintain water quality in downstream rivers and the sensitive Danube Delta ecosystem.
