ETE 1 PETROLANDIA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Petrolândia, Pernambuco, Brazil. Situated in the Northeast region, the facility serves a population of around 11,208 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Brazilian sanitation standards. The plant is designed with a capacity of 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per second or similar unit). Brazilian wastewater treatment plants of this scale typically employ secondary treatment processes such as activated sludge or stabilization ponds, in compliance with CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and state-level environmental permits. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the São Francisco River basin, one of Brazil's most important river systems. The São Francisco River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption across multiple states. Proper treatment at ETE 1 PETROLANDIA helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the São Francisco River basin, which flows eastward to the Atlantic Ocean. The São Francisco River is a critical water source for the semi-arid Northeast region, supporting irrigation, fisheries, and biodiversity. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast means its discharge can influence coastal water quality, though the river's flow provides significant dilution.
