Sangani is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Satelite area of Perené, in the Chanchamayo province of Junín, Peru. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 94,345 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under typical regulatory frameworks. Peru's wastewater treatment regulations, governed by the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, require secondary treatment for plants of this scale to protect water quality. Facilities serving populations over 50,000 typically incorporate biological treatment stages to meet effluent standards. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Amazon River basin via the Perené River. This region is ecologically significant as part of the Amazon rainforest, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing critical water resources for downstream communities and ecosystems.
Environmental context

This watershed is part of the Amazon basin, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. The treated effluent must meet standards to protect sensitive aquatic habitats and downstream water users, including indigenous communities and agriculture.
