ETE MULTIFABRIL Wastewater Treatment Plant, Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco

ETE MULTIFABRIL is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Vista Alegre neighborhood of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, within the Recife metropolitan area in Pernambuco, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 364 residents and operates at a secondary treatment level. As a secondary treatment facility, ETE MULTIFABRIL provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. In Brazil, wastewater treatment plants are regulated by federal and state environmental agencies, with standards set by CONAMA resolutions. For small agglomerations like this, secondary treatment is typical and meets the basic requirements for effluent quality before discharge. The plant discharges 414.00 m³/day of treated wastewater. While the specific receiving water body is not identified, the plant is located within 50 km of the coast, meaning its effluent ultimately reaches the Atlantic Ocean via local drainage networks. The region's watershed includes rivers that flow into the Atlantic, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and coastal habitats.

The plant is situated in the Recife metropolitan region, an area with a dense network of rivers and canals that drain into the Atlantic Ocean. The treated effluent from ETE MULTIFABRIL likely enters a local watercourse that flows into the Jaboatão River or another nearby river, eventually reaching the Atlantic. This coastal zone supports mangroves, estuaries, and marine biodiversity, making proper wastewater treatment essential to prevent nutrient pollution and protect downstream ecosystems.
