Overview
ROWP SC CUP SA VRANCEA AGODOBESTI is a secondary treatment plant serving Odobești, Romania. It discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies, supporting the region's sanitation infrastructure.
ROWP SC CUP SA VRANCEA AGODOBESTI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located on Strada Republicii in Odobești, Vrancea County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,118 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Romanian and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 10,900 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 659.23 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea, making this plant part of a large transboundary river basin. Proper treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality in the Danube Delta, a region of high ecological importance.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Siret River basin, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a major European ecological corridor. The secondary treatment process reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in downstream rivers and the Danube Delta, a sensitive ecosystem that relies on balanced nutrient levels.
