ROWP PROD SERVICE ACT SRL Snagov is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Gruiu, Ilfov County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 2,529 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Romanian and EU regulations. The plant is situated near Șoseaua Lunca Ialomiței, in the Șanțu Florești area, and operates within the broader infrastructure of the Ilfov region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the 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 3,000 m³/day and a reported discharge volume of 657.50 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variability. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Ialomița River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea, making this plant part of a large transboundary river basin. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and supports the ecological health of the Ialomița River and the Danube Delta, a region of significant biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Ialomița River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually reaches the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The secondary treatment provided helps reduce nutrient and organic pollutant loads, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
