Wastewater Treatment System Do’s and Dont’s

Overview

The micro-organisms remove the pollutants from wastewater. Micro-organisms need favourable conditions to grow and breed so that work to their optimum. Therefore it’s important that end user, uses caution on the substances entering the plant.

If the micro-organisms are accidently destroyed due to lack of food or oxygen, they will repopulate in 3-6 weeks. During this time, there may be a slight odour from the plant as it cannot work to its full potential until the micro-organism repopulate. To help ensure the micro-organisms are not destroyed, the following should be avoided.

Tricel Novo works in three stages

Stage 1: the primary settlement chamber

In this chamber, the grease and the mud will be separated from the water. The grease will stay on the surface and the mud will go to the bottom of the tank.

Stage 2: the aeration chamber

In this compartment, the aerobic bacteria are going to digest the pollution from the wastewater.

Stage 3: final settlement chamber

In this final chamber, the mud residues are transferred to the primary chamber with an airlift system.

Wastewater Treatment Dont’s

Wastewater Treatment Do’s

Do not allow rainwater, groundwater or large volumes of water such as those from swimming pools, Jacuzzi’s into the wastewater treatment plant. Excessive water will increase the flow rate through the plant not allowing sufficient treatment time and may also flush the micro-organisms out.

Do not dispose of nappies, sanitary towels, baby wipes, cosmetic and cleaning wipes or similar, rags or non-bio-degradable material down the toilet as they block the drains and also cause malfunction in the plant

Do not overuse bleach and disinfectants. These are safe to use in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines and in the minimum necessary concentration.

Do not switch off the plant while going on holidays. The plant should operate 24 hours per day, seven days a week. The air blower and the sludge return system maintain the bacteria during period of low occupancy.If the micro-organisms are destroyed due to the ingress of chemicals (or any of the products listed below) into the plant, the plant will have to be de-sludged and cleaned to restart the population of micro-organisms. The following substances will kill the working micro-organisms in the plant and should not be discharged of into the sinks or drains.

Do not pour neat bleach or disinfectants down the sink or outside drains. Often these are inappropriately used to treat foul odours from sinks and drains. However these foul smells are caused by a build-up of decaying material or a plumbing problem which should be dealt with using an appropriate method.

Don’t allow pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, gardening chemicals or hazardous substances into the plant.

Do not pour Fats, grease or any oil down the sink or outside drains as this clog the plant.

Do not dispose of medicines down the sink. Dispose of as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not use sink macerators unless the plant is specifically designed to accept this increased organic load. Sink macerators result in additional maintenance.
Some everyday products, such as milk, wine, beer can increase the organic load on the plant and cannot be disposed of down the sink or outside drains.

Locate the treatment plant in a pedestrian area away from any super imposed loads.

Ensure the finished ground level is lower than the “max ground level” indicated on the plant.

Ensure that vents are clear as the plant requires a fresh supply of oxygen. Inspect regularly especially in the autumn to ensure vents are free of leaves.

Carry out regular inspections and yearly maintenance ensure the plant is operating at the optimum. Check regularly that the air blower is working by listening for the gentle hum from the plant. A yearly maintenance contract is available from your supplier.

Inspect the plant regularly and de-sludge using a licensed contractor to ensure it operates to its optimum.

Maintain a log of inspections, de-sludging and maintenance contracts to record the full service history of the plant.
