Throughout the years, Tricel has been positioning itself as a leader in the household wastewater treatment industry here in Ireland, but not only. Our bestseller, the Tricel Novo which is a wastewater treatment plant, is reliable, cost-effective and trustworthy…
Convincing you
Three adjectives that have been convincing many households everywhere in the country, but not only. Our plant is made of SMC, which is a highly resistant and durable material, yet considered as one of the lightest to work with. From a more technical perspective, our treatment process operates in three different steps throughout three different chambers: the primary settlement chambers, the aeration chamber and the final settlement chamber. Finally, it has been made in compliance with EN12566-3 CE Certification, respecting the environmental regulations.

How a Tricel Novo Works?
Stage 1: the primary settlement chamber
In the primary settlement chamber, anaerobic breakdown takes place into this first stage of the effluents treatment. As the wastewater is entering into the domestic wastewater treatment system, the solids are dropping to the bottom, becoming automatically detached from the liquid.
Stage 2: the aeration chamber
Secondly, aerobic breakdown is introduced. As the liquid moves through the filter media, the bacteria (sustained by an air compressor) are getting fed by the waste and eradicate it from the liquid.
Stage 3: final settlement chamber
Last but not least, the soon-to-be treated domestic sewage flows from the aeration chamber into the final settlement chamber. Once again, the suspended sludge will settle to the chamber’s bottom and will be pumped back to the first purification zone via an airlift system. The remaining liquid now meets the required standard and can pass out of the Tricel system.
Distance to respect from your household wastewater treatment plant
As a potential buyer, there are a few things you need to know about the installation of your sewage treatment equipment (septic tank included). You need to respect a few rules regarding the distance you will be putting from your domestic wastewater treatment system to your dwelling. The Epa code of Practice created a distance calculator to prevent any type of dysfunction of your plant and to ensure the quality of your effluents.
Distances
According to the regulations, your sewage treatment plant has to be:
– 5 metres away from surface water soakaway
– 10 metres away from watercourse or stream
– 10 metres away from open drain
– 50 metres away from any lake or foreshore
– 7 metres away from your house
But that’s not it. Trees and site boundaries such as fences have to be 3 metres apart from your domestic wastewater treatment system and 4 meters apart from the road. For the homeowners equipped with a percolation area, a 10-metre distance has to be warranted from a wastewater treatment facility to another.

Tricel Novo: Key features & benefits
The compression moulding process is one of the most technologically advanced features available on the market. Components are manufactured under heat and high pressure. They have a competitive strength and durability over standard GRP tanks or PE tanks.
SMC is a unique material in the sewage treatment industry with Tricel SMC tanks operating in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects.
Tricel’s ceramic diffuser will last twice as long as all standard competitors rubber equivalents. It is a cost-saver in both call out fees and replacement parts.
No concrete backfill for installation on most sites which allows you to save up to €400 over lower quality GRP/plastic competitors.
There are no moving parts or pumps in the plant which is ensuring reliable operation during the treatment process and minimal running costs.
Tricel Novo plants are designed with a shallow invert to limit both installation and time costs.
