The challenge

This case study looks at a site where the customer was looking for a solution to upgrade his old septic tank for his house. The customer had to comply with the EPA Code of Practice and install an environmentally friendly solution. The wastewater treatment system to be installed had to suit the specificities of the ground.

How we helped

The customer had the project to replace his old existing septic tank. He was recommended to have a pumped Tricel Novo 6 PE. However, the customer location and the specificities of the area required an additional treatment system. The customer’s house was on a wet site, and the ground mainly comprised a high water level. Additionally, a stream was located at the back of his garden. The Tricel Novo wastewater treatment purifying level is high. Or, the specificities of this project and the compulsory requirement to have an exceptional level of treatment obliged the customer to provide himself with a Tricel Novo Wastewater treatment plant and a Sandcel sand polishing filter.
Tricel provided a combination of a secondary wastewater treatment, Tricel Novo, and a tertiary wastewater treatment, Tricel Sandcel. Both complementarities makes it possible to have the required water treatment level.
The effluent released into the ground has to be treated at a maximum level. The effluent going to the ground melts with the water naturally present in the soil and the water pouring out into the stream. The water in the stream is vital for the environment and directly drinkable by fauna and flora. Indeed, the treated water must respect a certain level of purification.
Tricel’s high-quality products made this project possible. The wastewater treatment system of the customer is now upgraded, updated and respectful of the environment.
Tricel is happy to develop compliant wastewater treatment solutions and contribute to the preservation of the environment.
