ROWP SC SACET PROD SRL Berbesti Dealu Alunis is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Dealu Aluniș, Berbești, Vâlcea County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 618 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. As a secondary treatment facility, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids before discharge. The plant has a designed capacity of 1,760 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 80.66 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) below 2,000 are subject to appropriate treatment requirements, which secondary treatment fulfills. Romania, as an EU member state, implements this directive through national legislation, ensuring compliance with European standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters, ultimately draining into the Olt River basin and then the Danube River, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant's operation helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the Danube Delta, a region of high biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Olt River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube carries the treated effluent to the Black Sea, passing through ecologically sensitive areas such as the Danube Delta, which supports diverse aquatic life and serves as an important migratory corridor for birds. The secondary treatment level reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
