Overview
ETE KELLER I is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving 1,915 people in Mandaguari, Paraná, Brazil. It discharges treated effluent into local waterways, supporting the region's sanitation infrastructure.
ETE KELLER I is a wastewater treatment plant located in Mandaguari, a city in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The plant serves a population of 1,915 residents, making it a small-scale facility within the municipal sanitation network. It is situated in the southern region of Brazil, an area characterized by subtropical climate and agricultural activity. 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 required for most urban wastewater discharges to protect water quality. The plant's discharge volume is approximately 191.81 cubic meters per day, reflecting its small service population. The treated effluent from ETE KELLER I is discharged 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 this plant helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads, contributing to the ecological health of the region's rivers and reservoirs.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into streams within the Paraná River basin, which flows into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and is important for regional water supply. Effective secondary treatment reduces organic pollution and nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
