Description

The "Rifugio dell'Abetina Reale" mountain shelter is located inside a natural park (Parco del Gigante) in the Appennines, between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. <br>Sea level: 1410 m Season: April - October (easy access only possible when road is free of snow) Capacity: accommodation: 70 beds restaurant: 60 places for three times per day during week-ends, permanent staff: 6 persons <br>Water consumption maximum 7,4 m3/d average 3,0 m3/d minimum 2,0 m3/d Wastewater production: 40-100 p.e. approx In order to balance the weekly variations in wastewater production and to minimize the treatment area in the RBTS (VF CWs), IRIDRA have placed a buffer tank after a new primary treatment (septic) tank and then a pumping system that feeds two parallel Vertical Flow beds. Some results of the monitoring performed in the commissioning period are available here:<br><br>http://www.constructedwetlands.eu/swamp/ENGLISH/results/italy1_3.html <br><br>In August 2012 the local population has shown appreciation for the almost 10 years of good performances of the treatment system and the Dolo River seems to be much happier :-)
