MONT ROIG DEL CAMP POBLE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Mont-roig del Camp, Catalunya

MONT ROIG DEL CAMP POBLE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Mont-roig del Camp, a municipality in the Baix Camp region of Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,628 residents and is situated near the Mediterranean coast, within 10 km of the shoreline. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 6,250 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 750 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local environment, likely into a nearby watercourse that drains into the Mediterranean Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the coastal waters of the Costa Dorada, a popular tourist destination, by reducing organic load and nutrients before discharge.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that flows into the Mediterranean Sea near the Costa Dorada. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is important for tourism and fisheries. The secondary treatment process helps reduce the impact of organic pollutants and nutrients on the sensitive coastal ecosystem, preventing eutrophication and maintaining water quality for recreational use.
