ROWP SC Aparegio SA TgJiu Dragutesti - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Iași-Gorj, Romania

ROWP SC Aparegio SA TgJiu Dragutesti is a wastewater treatment facility located in Iași-Gorj, Drăguțești, Gorj County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 927 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 1410 m³/day, currently discharging 232.41 m³/day of treated wastewater. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent. As a Romanian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The advanced treatment level exceeds the minimum secondary treatment standard, indicating a focus on nutrient removal or other specific requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Jiu River and then the Danube River, flowing into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the ecological health of the Danube basin.

The plant discharges into the Jiu River basin, a tributary of the Danube River. The Danube flows into the Black Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with sensitive ecosystems. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Black Sea. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species.
