ROWP Statia de epurare Tileagd - Tileagd, Bihor, Romania Wastewater Treatment Plant

ROWP Statia de epurare Tileagd is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Tileagd, Bihor County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 828 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. It is situated inland, away from coastal zones, and operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,000 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 352.35 m³/day, the facility has ample capacity to handle local wastewater loads. The treatment process involves biological degradation of organic matter, followed by sedimentation. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Crișul Repede River, a tributary of the Körös River system, which flows into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River and Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed from nutrient pollution and safeguarding downstream aquatic ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Crișul Repede River basin, which flows through western Romania into Hungary, joining the Körös River system. This river network is part of the larger Tisza and Danube basins, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
