ETE SAO JOAO DO TRIUNFO - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in São João do Triunfo, Paraná

ETE SAO JOAO DO TRIUNFO is a wastewater treatment plant located in São João do Triunfo, a municipality in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 266 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small urban community. It operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which require secondary treatment for such facilities to reduce organic pollutants and protect water quality. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes biodegradable organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge volume of 86.40 cubic meters per day indicates a modest scale. Brazilian regulations for small wastewater systems typically mandate compliance with effluent standards set by CONAMA (National Environment Council) resolutions. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies within the Paraná region, which ultimately drain into the Paraná River basin. This basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and human consumption. Proper treatment at this plant helps safeguard downstream ecosystems and public health.

The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which flows through southern Brazil and into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports important aquatic habitats and is a vital resource for regional water supply. Effective secondary treatment reduces nutrient and organic loads, protecting downstream water quality and biodiversity.
