Commercial Wastewater Treatment

Residential developments & housing estates

When there is no access to public sewerage, residential developments may need to treat their wastewater on-site. Our commercial wastewater treatment systems (Tricel Maxus) treat and dispose of residential wastewater and sewage.

Residential Development Wastewater Treatment

Overview

We offer solutions for wastewater treatment from housing developments, apartments, and residential accommodations. A great way to treat commercial wastewater off the mains.

Residential Development Wastewater Treatment Solutions by Tricel

We offer a variety of housing development solutions for both small and large projects. We offer a complete design-engineered solution, and a bespoke solution is provided for every unique site to ensure the best performance.

We take into account :

  • Discharging location
  • Effluent quality requirement
  • Sizing of the plant (including the type of effluent (standard or unusual))
  • Future-proofing

Running efficiency, working with the flows.

Wastewater from residential developments flows at a variable rate throughout the week. Typically, peak flow rates occur in the mornings, late afternoons and evenings, when people leave or return from work, school, etc. At residential developments, treatment systems must be designed to handle peak flows and periods of low flow.

The Tricel Maxus is ideal in such cases, as it evens out the flow in its buffer tank. Based on the actual flow, the floats signalling to the control panel and the air blower ramp up or down, saving on the pump and air blower running costs while increasing lifespan. 

Technology adaptable to different loadings or effluent strengths

Our modular system is designed to cater for all treatment requirements. We can also work with a high or low BOD load, e-coli, ammonia, nitrogen or phosphorus requirements. We can provide the solution for your residential development based on your needs and where the effluent will be discharged by adding more treatment zones (biological treatment zone (3 below) and clarifier (4 below).

We can work with you to calculate and ensure you meet the effluent quality requirements. 

How does the Tricel Maxus work

Futureproofing, allowance for expansion

Our Tricel Maxus wastewater treatment plants are modular, allowing them to be installed in phases according to the development’s needs. 

As an example, the settlement tank (1 above) and buffer tank (2 above) can be sized for the maximum capacity of the residential development, or housing estate, while the biological treatment zone (3 above) and clarifier (4 above) can be installed to meet phase 1 of the development needs. Additional biological treatment zone and clarifiers would be installed only when needed, at a later stage, once the development has grown.

Tricel Maxus for Residential Development Wastewater Treatment projects

  • The Tricel Maxus operates on Submerged Aerated Filter (SAF) technology with GRP or concrete settlement tank options.
  • Electrical components are connected to the E-III control panel through which the plant is controlled. 
  • Multi-configurations suit any site, and the system is robust and easy to install. 
  • As well as being simple to operate, these products are easy to maintain over their lifetimes.

FAQ – Tricel Maxus Wastewater Treatment Plant

Can the Tricel Maxus adapt to different loadings or effluent strengths?

Yes, we have a solution for everything. We can work with BOD load high or low and find suitable options for your site.

The versatile technology can be adapted to different loadings or effluent strengths. With its flexible design, we can easily add more treatment zones and clarifiers to ensure the effluent meets site requirements (such as low BOD, nitrogen, phosphorus, or even E-coli).

Does Tricel offer design/bespoke solutions?

Yes. We work with you to offer a bespoke solution for your unique site to ensure the best performance.

Contact us to discuss your project and requirements.

Some of the questions we’ll cover with you:

  • Where are you discharging? You might also need extra such as Sandcel sand polishing filter or Tricel Puraflo.
  • What is your effluent quality requirement?
  • Sizing the plant
  • What is in the effluent (standard or unusual -> lots of washing machines for example)?
  • Futureproofing

What is the Maxus running efficiency?

The Maxus is suitable for both seasonal or constant load. The control panel automatically adjusts as incoming loads increase to ensure optimal performance. By working with the flow, the pumps on the tank reduce energy costs during off-peak seasons.

Ideal for:

  • Schools (opened 5 days/week and closed during holidays)
  • Hotels (busy during summers, closed during winters)
  • Housing estates (where the theoretical PE calculation might be higher than the actual load)

Does the Tricel Maxus allow for population extension / futureproofing?

Yes. Let’s take an example of a hotel with a requirement of 100 PE and futureproofing for 200 PE in a few years’ time.

In this case, we would do the following:

  • Settlement tank (1) and buffer tank (2) for 200 PE
  • Biological treatment zone (3) and clarifier (4) for 100 PE. The extra cost would be only for an additional 3+4 when required.
