ROWP SC COMPANIA APA SA Brasov sector Bod - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bod, Romania

ROWP SC COMPANIA APA SA Brasov sector Bod is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Bod, a commune in Brașov County, Romania. The plant serves a population of 2,362 and operates with a designed capacity of 1,750 thousand m³/year, currently discharging 241.83 thousand m³/year of treated effluent. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. This directive mandates secondary treatment for all inland discharges from such communities to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Olt River basin, eventually reaching the Danube River and the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in safeguarding the water quality of the region's rivers and supporting the ecological health of the downstream aquatic environment.

The plant discharges into the Olt River basin, which flows southward to join the Danube River and ultimately the Black Sea. The Olt River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The secondary treatment provided by the plant helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, protecting the river's ecological balance and downstream water quality.
