Overview
ETE Alpha Ville 1 e 2 is a secondary treatment plant serving 188 people in Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil. It discharges 13.54 cubic meters of treated wastewater near the Atlantic coast.
ETE Alpha Ville 1 e 2 is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Alphaville Litoral Norte condominium in Abrantes, Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil. It serves a small population of 188 residents within the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, a densely populated coastal area in northeastern Brazil. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological process for removing organic matter and suspended solids. Under Brazil's national environmental regulations (CONAMA resolutions), secondary treatment is appropriate for small communities. The plant is situated within 10 kilometers of the Atlantic coast, meaning its treated effluent ultimately drains into coastal waters. This proximity to the ocean underscores the importance of effective treatment to protect marine ecosystems, including mangroves and estuaries that support diverse aquatic life in the Baía de Todos os Santos region.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge likely enters local streams or groundwater that flow into the Baía de Todos os Santos, a large tropical bay in northeastern Brazil. This bay supports extensive mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and coral reefs, providing critical habitat for fish, crustaceans, and migratory birds. Effective secondary treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and pathogen release into this ecologically sensitive coastal environment.
