ROWP SC LUXART SRL SfGheorghe sector Zagon Wastewater Treatment Plant, Păpăuți, Covasna

ROWP SC LUXART SRL SfGheorghe sector Zagon is a secondary wastewater treatment plant located in Păpăuți, a village in Zagon commune, Covasna County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 288 residents and has a designed capacity of 1000 cubic meters per day, with a reported discharge volume of 38.33 cubic meters per day. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. Under Romanian and EU regulations, small agglomerations under 2000 population equivalent are subject to appropriate treatment requirements, and secondary treatment meets the standards for inland discharges under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that drain into the Olt River basin, which flows southward into the Danube River and eventually reaches the Black Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by the Carpathian foothills, with agriculture and forestry dominating the landscape.

The treated effluent from this plant enters local streams that are part of the Olt River watershed. The Olt River is a major tributary of the Danube, which flows into the Black Sea. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive areas that support diverse aquatic life, including fish species and riparian habitats. Proper secondary treatment helps protect water quality in these receiving waters.
