ROWP SEAU ROZNOV Wastewater Treatment Plant, Roznov, Neamț, Romania

ROWP SEAU ROZNOV is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Chintinici, Roznov, Neamț County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,250 and is designed to handle a capacity of 9,409 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 731.78 m³/day. As a secondary treatment plant, it provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations of this size (2,000-10,000 population equivalent) are required to have secondary treatment, which this plant meets. The plant is operated as part of Romania's national wastewater infrastructure, which is aligned with EU standards. The plant discharges treated effluent into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The treatment plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated wastewater pollution.

The plant discharges into the Siret River basin, which flows into the Danube River and ultimately the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in eastern Romania. The secondary treatment provided by the plant helps reduce nutrient and organic loads, protecting downstream water quality in the Siret and Danube rivers.
