Tricel applies its wastewater expertise, knowledge, and tailored resources to deliver solutions that not only meet but exceed compliance standards.
As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality wastewater treatment systems, we ensure full compliance with local environmental agency requirements. Whether you require a new, customised system or an upgrade to an existing plant, Tricel can provide a solution designed around your needs, available space, and budget.
Our systems are particularly well suited to schools in rural or remote areas without access to a mains sewer. For new buildings or extensions, we can upgrade outdated septic tanks to handle the increased hydraulic and organic loading that comes with accommodating more students and staff.
School Wastewater Treatment Solution
Tricel offers several wastewater treatment solutions that can be adapted to any type of project, such as the Tricel Maxus Wastewater treatment, designed to treat wastewater for small communities and commercial properties greater than 50 PE. With multiple configurations that fit any site, the Maxus is robust, easy to install, simple to operate; and easy to maintain over the product’s lifespan.
School sewage can be treated and disposed of using our Tricel Maxus commercial wastewater treatment systems. Due to their location in rural areas, schools often adhere to strict ammonia, phosphorus, nitrogen, and BOD limits for which the Tricel Maxus wastewater treatment plant can cater.
Unlike domestic wastewater, sewage from schools and crèches has its own characteristics. It is typically marked by frequent toilet use and higher organic content, leading to elevated levels of ammonia. For this reason, the design of a treatment plant for a new school or crèche must involve professional input at the earliest stage. Several unique conditions must be considered, as these systems differ from most standard applications.
Examples include:
No inflow to the plant between late afternoon and early morning.
Minimal use of the facility during summer months.
Regular short periods of no loading.
Strict effluent quality requirements due to sensitive site locations.
Fully automatic operation with low maintenance needs, as no specialist staff are onsite.
Limited site space, requiring a compact footprint.
Fast start-up at the beginning of each school year.
Traditional septic systems for schools or nurseries can often contaminate groundwater and surface water. The Tricel Maxus wastewater treatment system ensures full compliance with EPA licence conditions. Regardless of site restrictions, we can provide tailored configurations to match your requirements.
When designing wastewater treatment for schools, crèches, nurseries, or playschools, several critical aspects must be considered: safety, warranty, energy use, site limitations, and operational as well as maintenance costs. With extensive experience in commercial sewage treatment projects, including many within the education sector, Tricel delivers economical, dependable, and fully compliant solutions.
Tricel’s advantages for School Wastewater Treatment
Our wastewater treatment solutions are designed for applications above 50 Population Equivalent (PE).
- Schools choose the Tricel Maxus Commercial Plant for both permanent and seasonal use. The intelligent control panel automatically adjusts to incoming loads to maintain performance. When no flow is detected, the system switches to power-saving mode and restarts immediately once flow resumes.
- We provide customised wastewater treatment systems to suit any site conditions—whether above or below ground, with limited space, or requiring specific effluent standards. If a discharge licence or permit issue arises, we can upgrade your system to ensure full compliance with environmental regulations.
- Thanks to the latest advances in commercial wastewater treatment, Tricel offers reliable and cost-effective solutions for schools. The systems use minimal energy, keeping operating costs low, and are built with durable components for long service life. With no internal moving parts, maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free.
