ROWP SC APA PROD SA evacuare Ilia is a wastewater treatment facility located in Ilia, Hunedoara County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,565 residents and has a designed capacity of 2,000 units, indicating it is sized for a small community. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes like sedimentation to remove solids. As a Romanian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size unless the receiving waters are less sensitive. The plant's discharge volume is 17.84 units, and it is not located near the coast. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse within the Mureș River basin, which flows into the Tisza River and eventually the Danube River and Black Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems in the Danube catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Mureș River, part of the Tisza River basin, which ultimately drains into the Danube River and the Black Sea. The Mureș River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Carpathian Basin. Primary treatment reduces suspended solids but may not fully remove nutrients, so the plant's impact on downstream water quality depends on dilution and additional natural attenuation.
