ROWP SC ApaRegio Gorj SA Ticleni - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Țicleni, Romania

ROWP SC ApaRegio Gorj SA Ticleni is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Țicleni, Gorj County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 1,050 residents, making it a small-scale municipal treatment operation within the region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 4,000 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 211.68 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a Romanian facility, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Jiu River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from pollution.

The plant discharges into the Jiu River basin, which flows southward to join the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality in the Danube Delta, an ecologically sensitive area.
