ETE Vitoria Brasil - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Vitória Brasil, São Paulo

ETE Vitoria Brasil is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Vitória Brasil, a small town in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of 1,418 and operates with secondary treatment, which is appropriate for a community of this size. The facility is situated inland, approximately 50 km from the coast, and discharges treated effluent into the local watershed. Brazil's wastewater treatment regulations are governed by federal standards such as CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, which sets effluent quality parameters. For small agglomerations like Vitória Brasil, secondary treatment is the typical minimum requirement to protect receiving water bodies. The plant's discharge volume of 206.98 m³/day indicates a modest flow consistent with the population served. The treated effluent from ETE Vitoria Brasil flows into the Turvo-Grande River basin, part of the Paraná River system. This basin supports agricultural activities and provides water for downstream communities. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and nutrients, contributing to the ecological health of the river network that ultimately drains into the Río de la Plata estuary.

The plant discharges into the Turvo-Grande River basin, a tributary of the Paraná River, which flows into the Río de la Plata estuary.
