ROWP SPGL SA Floresti sector Calinesti is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Novăcești, Prahova County, Romania. The facility serves a population of 774 and operates with a designed capacity of 1,200 m³/day, currently treating an average discharge volume of 68.06 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. As a small agglomeration (under 2,000 population equivalent), the directive mandates appropriate treatment to protect receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses within the Prahova River basin, which flows southward to the Danube River and ultimately into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local streams and downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution and organic loads.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Prahova River basin, a tributary of the Danube River. The Danube carries water through the Danube Delta, a vast wetland and ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory bird populations. The Black Sea receives the final discharge, making nutrient removal important to prevent eutrophication in coastal waters.
