Overview
ETE CIATEC is a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, serving approximately 9,183 people. It operates under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE CIATEC is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Polo de Alta Tecnologia de Campinas, in the Nova Aparecida district of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 9,183 people, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Brazilian regulatory frameworks. As a small-scale facility, ETE CIATEC is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under Brazil's CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, which sets effluent discharge limits for wastewater treatment plants. Its operational context aligns with typical municipal plants serving similar-sized communities in the region. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water downstream. Proper treatment at ETE CIATEC helps protect water quality in the region's streams and rivers.
Environmental context
The treated effluent from ETE CIATEC flows into local streams that are part of the Paraná River basin, which drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species important for local fisheries. The region's subtropical climate and urban development in Campinas make effective wastewater treatment crucial for preventing nutrient pollution and maintaining downstream water quality.
