What is a Tricel Sandcel and how does it work?

Overview

Sandcel as a sand filtration wastewater treatment provides a dual function of polishing the effluent from a wastewater treatment system and disposing of the treated liquid into groundwater. It incorporates an enclosed sand filter, which can be installed under or overground at varying heights to suit all site conditions. Sandcel filters can also be designed for larger applications by our inhouse team.

Sandcel sand polishing filters are designed to the EPA Code of Practice as tertiary treatment systems. These filters are the perfect solution for the treatment and disposal of effluent from a secondary treatment unit. The filters comprise of stratified layers of certified sands according to the EPA Code of Practice.

They are enclosed in GRP impermeable panels which will not rot or decay, ensuring the structure of the filter will hold for many years.

The filters can be installed above or below ground with all pipework accessible from a service pod.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

What is maintenance and servicing?

Part of the servicing can be directly done by yourself. However, the main part of the maintenance and servicing must be done by a professional.

Tricel offers an annual maintenance contract which is a full service every year to guarantee the efficiency of the system gets maintained. For the smooth running of the operation, service personal must get accommodated with unobstructed access to the tank.

Why is maintenance important?

In Ireland, there are approximately 500,000 wastewater treatment systems and most of them are septic tanks. Lack of tank desludging and maintenance of wastewater treatment system is an issue as this poses risks to health or environment.
