ROWP SC HARVIZ SA STATIE DE EPURARE BRADESTI - Brădești Wastewater Treatment Plant

ROWP SC HARVIZ SA STATIE DE EPURARE BRADESTI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Brădești, Harghita County, Romania. The facility serves a population of approximately 1,794 residents and is designed to handle a daily capacity of 2,130 cubic meters. It operates under Romania's national water management framework, which aligns with the European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant provides secondary treatment, which typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The current discharge volume is 21.26 cubic meters per day, indicating a utilization rate well below the designed capacity. As a small agglomeration, the plant is subject to EU requirements for appropriate collection and treatment systems. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses within the Târnava Mare River basin, which eventually flows into the Mureș River and then the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these rivers and the downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta.

The plant discharges into the Târnava Mare River basin, part of the larger Mureș-Tisza-Danube system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The downstream Danube Delta is a major ecological zone that relies on upstream water quality management. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in sensitive downstream areas.
