Novo - Wastewater Treatment Plants
With a Tricel Novo wastewater treatment plant you get an exceptional system for wastewater and sewage treatment. Under EU regulations, sewage treatment plants and septic tanks must carry CE Certification. This is EN12566-3 for sewage treatment plants and EN12566-1 for septic tank systems. Tricel Novo plants provide the simple, cost-effective solution for high quality wastewater treatment, and ensure compliance with these environmental protection regulations.
The AdvantagesTricel Novo treatment systems have low maintenance and running costs, and are easy to install and de-sludge. They are quiet in operation, and underground installation minimises the visual impact.
Tricel Novo products are manufactured from one of the strongest glass reinforced plastic materials available, SMC. This guarantees a very robust and durable product.
Larger systems are also available, speak with our sales team for further information.
We can also provide:
- Manhole risers to suit varying site conditions
- Site assessments to meet planning requirements
- Maintenance contracts
Standards & certification
The design and performance capabilities of Tricel Novo wastewater treatment systems are approved to the European Standard EN12566/3, which ensures compliance across the EU. After completion of nine months of thorough testing in an independent laboratory, the systems have also been awarded the CE Mark.
With a Tricel Novo plant you get a modern, high quality product that harnesses natural processes for effective sewage and wastewater treatment. Our plants have been thoroughly tested to internationally recognised standards.
Stage 1: the primary settlement chamber
In the first stage of sewage treatment, anaerobic breakdown takes place in the primary settlement chamber. The wastewater is introduced and the solids drop to the bottom, becoming separated from the liquid.
Stage 2: the aeration chamber
The next stage of the wastewater treatment involves aerobic breakdown. This takes place in the aeration chamber, where masses of naturally occurring bacteria inhabit specially designed filter media.
These bacteria are sustained with air, which is continuously supplied from a purpose-built pump in the unit’s top section. As the liquid flows slowly through the filter media, the bacteria feed on the waste and remove it from the liquid.
Stage 3: final settlement chamber
In the last stage of wastewater treatment, the liquid flows from the aeration chamber into the final settlement chamber. Suspended sludge consisting of bacteria is carried with the liquid into the settlement chamber and settles to the bottom of the chamber.
From there, a continuous sludge return system pumps it back to the primary settlement chamber. The remaining treated liquid now meets the required standard to be safely passed out of the Tricel system.
