Overview
ETE 05 is a secondary treatment plant serving 534 people in Moreno, Pernambuco, Brazil. It discharges 153.79 m³/day of treated wastewater into local water bodies.
ETE 05 is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Moreno, within the Metropolitan Region of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 534 residents, providing secondary treatment for domestic wastewater from the Vila Residencial Parque Moreno area. As a secondary treatment facility, ETE 05 meets the basic Brazilian regulatory standards for organic matter removal. Brazilian environmental legislation, including CONAMA resolutions, sets effluent quality standards for such plants. For small agglomerations like this, secondary treatment is typically sufficient to protect receiving water quality. The treated effluent from ETE 05 discharges into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Atlantic Ocean via the Recife coastal region. The plant plays a role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and the sensitive coastal environment of northeastern Brazil.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters small streams in the Capibaribe River basin, which flows through Recife and into the Atlantic Ocean. The downstream environment includes estuarine and coastal habitats that support diverse aquatic life, including mangroves and fish species. Protecting these waters from untreated sewage is critical for maintaining ecological balance and public health in the densely populated Recife metropolitan area.
