ROWP TIBANESTI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Țibănești, Iași, Romania

ROWP TIBANESTI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Țibănești, a commune in Iași County, Romania. The plant serves a population of 909 and operates with a designed capacity of 10,000 m³ per day, with an actual discharge volume of 97.28 m³ per day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. As a Romanian facility, it operates within the national regulatory framework aligned with EU standards, ensuring that treated effluent meets quality criteria before discharge. The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Prut River basin, which flows into the Danube River and then into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated sewage pollution.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Prut River basin. The Prut River flows into the Danube, which ultimately reaches the Black Sea. The region supports diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecological balance in the downstream environment.
