Overview
ETE BURITI 02 is a secondary treatment plant in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, serving 1,780 people. It discharges 211.68 m³/day of treated wastewater near the coast.
ETE BURITI 02 is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Macaxeira neighborhood of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. It serves a population of 1,780 and operates with secondary treatment, a standard level for smaller communities in the region. The plant discharges approximately 211.68 m³/day of treated wastewater. As a secondary treatment facility, it meets the basic requirements for organic matter and suspended solids removal. Brazilian regulations, such as CONAMA resolutions, set discharge standards for such plants, and the facility is expected to comply with local environmental permits. The treated effluent likely flows into local watercourses that drain into the Atlantic Ocean, given Recife's coastal location. The region's watershed includes the Capibaribe and Beberibe rivers, which support diverse aquatic life and are important for local ecosystems. The plant's proximity to the coast underscores the importance of effective treatment to protect marine and estuarine environments.
Environmental context
The plant is located in Recife, a coastal city in northeastern Brazil. Treated wastewater likely discharges into the Capibaribe River basin, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean via the Recife estuary. This estuarine environment supports mangroves and diverse aquatic species, making proper treatment essential to prevent nutrient enrichment and protect downstream habitats.
