Tricel Vento - Septic Tanks
Tricel Vento septic tanks are manufactured from high density polyethylene using the latest in blow moulding technology. This market leading product possesses high strength and durability characteristics. It has a super low profile which requires a smaller excavation. This combined with its light weight this ensures ease of installation that makes it ideal for all septic tank applications.
Why buy a Tricel Vento?
Certification
- The Tricel Vento is certified to EN12566-1
Safety
- Lids are fully securable for onsite safety
Easy to install
- Lightweight for ease of installation. Most tanks depending on site conditions can be installed without concrete. (Please refer to installation manual)
Clever design
- Low profile tanks have a smaller excavation saving you money.
The Tricel Septic Tank System is constructed from hot pressed GRP (glass reinforced plastic), and the tank is divided into two compartments.
Waste water flows by gravity into Chamber 1, where the solids and heavier material settle to the base of the unit. A small amount of anaerobic breakdown occurs at this stage. The liquid and lighter waste material flow over the baffle into the second chamber. A layer of scum forms at the top of the liquid.
A specially designed outlet pipe is fitted to the unit to ensure that only the liquid flows into the percolation area. This dip pipe prevents the scum from passing into the percolation area which may block pipes.
Final improvement of the waste water occurs as it penetrates through a specially designed percolation area.
Percolation area
As the majority of treatment occurs in the percolation area, a percolation test should be undertaken to determine the composition of the drainage area. The test results also determines the drainage area and the length of percolation trenches required.
The waste flows by gravity into a distribution chamber, which evenly disperses the liquid between the percolation pipes. To ensure even distribution, it is important that percolation pipes have a uniform gradient and constructed in a loop format.
