WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Septic tanks Ireland, locally manufactured waste water treatment systems
OVERVIEW
With its Tricel Vento, Tricel combines a traditional savoir-faire and a respect for what we do the best locally in terms of manufacturing. We’re producing waste water treatment systems, including Septic tanks, here in Ireland. We know that updating a waste water treatment system is quite an investment – no matter if it’s a Septic Tank or a Waste Water Plant -, so we believe that you should make the most of it by choosing a cost-efficient and trustworthy product. Our Septic Tank Tricel Vento is definitely one of those. While it has been created in compliance with EN12566-1 standards, it is the symbol of our expertise. It’s a long lasting and durable product, ensuring a high water quality in respect of the irish regulations.

How does a septic tank work ?
Inside our Tricel Vento, the waste water treatment operates in three steps.
Stage 1:
Wastewater flows by gravity into the tank and is diverted downwards with a T piece where the solids and heavier material settle to the base of the unit. A small amount of anaerobic breakdown occurs at this stage.
Stage 2:
The lighter solids float to the top and form a scum and an outlet pipe fitted to the unit ensures that only the liquid element flows into the percolation area. This specifically designed dip pipe prevents the scum from passing into the percolation area which may result in blocked pipes.
Stage 3:
The effluent exits the septic tank for its final improvement as it penetrates through the specially designed percolation area.

Distance to respect for septic tanks in Ireland
As a potential future owner of a septic tank here in Ireland, those rules apply to you and your dwelling. It is your responsibility to insure that they are scrupulously respected.
The Epa code of Practice created a distance calculator. It has to be:
– 5 metres away from surface water soakaway
-10 metres away from the watercourse or stream
-10 metres away from open drain
– 50 metres away from any lake or foreshore
– 3 metres from trees and site boundaries to your wastewater treatment system
– 4 metres away from the road
– 7 metres from your home
– 10 metres away from another wastewater treatment facility
Case study
Read the full case study of a septic tank upgrade with Puraflo modules by Tricel at Claran National School.
Discover the whole project from the very beginning.
Following the decision to extend Claran National School, the site engineer Patrick J Newell recommended an upgrade of the current wastewater treatment system.
This decision has been taken in order to identify a new suitable wastewater treatment solution and upgrade the existing septic tank installation in line with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
