Overview
ETE POLO I is a secondary treatment plant serving Carambeí, Paraná, Brazil. It treats wastewater for approximately 3,950 people with a discharge volume of 400.90 (unit unspecified).
ETE POLO I is a wastewater treatment plant located in Carambeí, within the state of Paraná in southern Brazil. The facility serves a population of approximately 3,950 residents, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Brazilian regulatory frameworks. The plant employs secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required by Brazilian environmental regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for municipalities of this scale. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with discharge standards before release into the environment. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies within the Paraná basin, which ultimately drains into the Paraná River and then to the Río de la Plata estuary. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for agricultural and urban water uses downstream.
Environmental context
