Overview
ROWP SC COMPANIA DE APA OLT SCORNICESTI is a secondary treatment plant serving Scornicești, Romania, with a designed capacity of 24,300 m³/day and serving 4,300 people.
ROWP SC COMPANIA DE APA OLT SCORNICESTI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Scornicești, Olt County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,300 residents and has a designed capacity of 24,300 cubic meters per day, with a discharge volume of 968.20 cubic meters per day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and sedimentation to remove organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Olt River, a major tributary of the Danube River. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea, making this plant part of a large international river basin. Proper treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed the Olt River, which flows southward to join the Danube River. The Danube Delta, a vast wetland and ecologically sensitive area, supports diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. The Black Sea receives the final discharge, making nutrient and pollutant control critical to prevent eutrophication and maintain marine biodiversity.
