Commercial wastewater treatment plant (caravan park)
Product Used
Project Introduction
Meadowfield Caravan Park is located in Brittas Bay, County Wicklow.
This area is renowned for its sandy beaches and is a fantastic location for outdoor activities such as hiking and surfing.

THE CHALLENGE
Meadowfield caravan park required a commercial wastewater treatment plant system allowing different flows throughout the year, during peak and quiet periods.
In addition, the customer was also looking for a system that would be economical with electricity usage, easy to maintain, and fit their budget.
In addition, we had limited time to have this system designed to have the smallest footprint possible. The treatment system had to be manufactured and fitted during the time of year the caravan park would be closed.
The Installation
This project was done in collaboration with Bluestream. Bluestream is an Irish-owned, family-run business with over 30 years of experience in wastewater treatment plants.
Working with Bluestream and the customer, Tricel designed the whole system bespoke to suit their needs. We offered different layout designs to match the customer’s green family-orientated grounds.
Part of the design was that all the electrics and components could be housed inside the Mars unit, without extra control panels and auxiliary units above ground beside the treatment system.
We also explained clearly how this commercial wastewater treatment system works.
TRICEL SOLUTION
Equipment supplied and installed
To meet the requirements for the commercial wastewater treatment plant for this caravan site in Wicklow, we provided a Maxus 88M600 system, comprised of:
- 2x Fortis septic tanks of 10,800L (6 rings) as settlement tanks
- 1x combined settlement and buffer tank
- 1x Mars 6000 treatment unit
Tricel Maxus utilizes highly effective (Submerged Aerated Filter) SAF technology to treat wastewater in 4 stages.
Running efficiency
Tricel Maxus wastewater treatment is suitable for seasonal or constant loads. As incoming loads increase, the control panel automatically adjusts to ensure optimal performance.
In the buffer tank, the partially treated wastewater from the settlement tanks (1 above) (Fortis septic tanks) enters.
Inside the buffer tank (2 above), there are two pumps whose role is to even out the flow, thanks to floats and a timer. Indeed, the floats inside the buffer tank send a signal to the control panel, and in turn, the control panel send a signal to the air blowers to ramp up or down based on actual flow.
This way, the customer is saving on both pump and air blower running costs (electricity) and increasing their lifespan.
Following the buffer tank, the wastewater is pumped into the treatment plant (3 above) and clarifier (4 above).
Versatile technology which can adapt to different loadings or effluent strengths.
With the Tricel Maxus, we can find suitable options for everything. Indeed, thanks to its flexible design, we can add more treatment zones and clarifiers to ensure the treated effluent meets the site requirements (such as low BOD, nitrogen, phosphorus or even E-coli).

The Feedback
Although we had a limited time to design this commercial wastewater treatment plan, with the smallest footprint possible and have it manufactured and installed during the closed period, we delivered. It was challenging, but it was accomplished. It took one week for two Tricel Maxus wastewater treatment plants and one Tricel Mars unit to be installed, including commissioning by Tricel.
The customer is delighted with the system; the Tricel Maxus wastewater treatment and Mars units leave a small footprint in the grass where they were installed, which is ideal for families. Also, it is extremely quiet compared to the previous system, which made a lot of noise and disturbed families.
“We would like to thank all at Tricel for all help and support we received from beginning to end. What was a very confusing project for us was made simple and seamless, thank you”
