ETE IX IATE CLUBE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Foz do Iguaçu, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 95,872 people, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. Its location in the southern region of Brazil places it within the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system. Brazilian wastewater treatment plants are regulated under federal standards such as CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, which sets effluent discharge limits, and the National Basic Sanitation Plan (PLANSAB). For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet environmental standards. The plant's designed capacity is 1. The plant's treated effluent ultimately drains into the Paraná River basin, which flows into the Río de la Plata estuary. This downstream water body supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in South America. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) underscores the need for effective treatment to protect downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which flows through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina before reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including migratory fish species and wetlands. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast means its effluent can influence coastal water quality, making effective treatment important for protecting downstream environments.
