ETE MOCAMBO CARIACICA - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cariacica, Brazil

ETE MOCAMBO CARIACICA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Cariacica, within the Greater Vitória metropolitan region of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 1,243 residents and operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under Brazilian regulations for communities of this size. The plant discharges approximately 172.80 cubic meters of treated effluent per day. As a coastal facility within 10 km of the Atlantic Ocean, its operations are subject to Brazil's environmental standards, including CONAMA resolutions that govern effluent quality and discharge limits to protect marine and estuarine ecosystems. The treated wastewater from ETE MOCAMBO CARIACICA ultimately reaches the Atlantic Ocean via local drainage networks. The coastal waters of Espírito Santo support diverse marine life, including mangroves and coral reefs, making proper treatment essential for preserving water quality and aquatic habitats in this ecologically sensitive region.

The plant discharges into the coastal watershed of Espírito Santo, with treated effluent flowing through local streams and estuaries before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal zone supports mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reef ecosystems that are sensitive to nutrient pollution and require effective wastewater treatment to maintain ecological balance.
