What is a Tricel Novo and how does it work?

Overview

The Tricel Novo is a unique wastewater treatment plant as it combines a number of technological features such as a fixed bed technology and a three-stage purification process, which have proven to be the most efficient on the market. The chambers are dimensioned around the customer needs with each step of the water treatment having its own area in the plant. The Novo plants provide simple, cost-effective solution for high-quality wastewater treatment while ensuring compliance with environmental protection regulations. We cover a range of projects from 1 to 50 PE, for both household and commercial use. Have a look at the treatment process below.

Stage 1: The Primary Settlement Chamber

Effluent enters the primary settlement chamber. Settlement then occurs when the heavier solids drop out of the wastewater and settle at the bottom of the tank, creating sludge. The lighter solids float at the top of the water and create a scum. This top layer acts as a seal to stop odours escaping. The chamber separates up to 70% of the solids.

Stage 2: The Aeration Chamber

Inside the aeration chamber masses of naturally occurring bacteria inhabit specially designed plastic filter media. The bacteria feed on the waste removing it from the liquid. A continuous air supply from a low pressure, high volume compressor in the top section of the unit sustains the bacteria. The wastewater passes through the filter media over and over, ensuring a very high treatment efficiency 

Stage 3: Final Settlement Chamber

Any remaining minute bacterial particles separate from the liquid within in this chamber before discharge from the plant. The process slows the liquids velocity, allowing for any final trace impurities to settle to the bottom of the tank section. A sludge return system then returns these impurities back to the primary settlement chamber. The remaining treated liquid now meets the required standard and is safely passed out of the Tricel Novo plant system. The treated effluent is now ready for discharge to a suitably designed discharge area as required by the relevant local authority.
