It serves a small population of 283 residents within the Cuiabá metropolitan region, operating as part of the city's municipal sanitation infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment level required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for urban wastewater. Secondary treatment typically involves biological degradation of organic matter followed by sedimentation. The plant discharges approximately 196.80 cubic meters of treated effluent. The treated effluent is released into local water bodies within the Cuiabá River basin, which flows into the Paraguay River and ultimately into the Paraná River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply and agriculture. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
Environmental context
