What is a Tricel Novo and how does it work?
Tricel’s wastewater treatment plant, the Tricel Novo, is a trustworthy, durable and technologically advanced product. It is made of SMC, which is a highly resistant and durable material, particularly easy to work with because of its lightweight. Finally, it has been made in compliance with EN12566-3 CE Certification, respecting the environmental regulations and what should be the best for you and your dwelling.
On a technical note, our purification process operates in three different steps. Each stage of the treatment has a dedicated space inside the plant that we call a chamber.
Stage 1: the primary settlement chamber
In this first chamber, anaerobic breakdown operates and separates the solids from the liquid. The heaviest wastes are going to the bottom of the plant
Stage 2: the aeration chamber
As the liquid moves into the aeration chamber, it goes through the filter media and gets in contact with bacteria who have been sustained by an air compressor. These bacteria are getting fed by the waste and eradicate it from the liquid.
Stage 3: final settlement chamber
Finally, the domestic sewage flows from the aeration chamber into the final settlement chamber. The suspended sludge will drop to the bottom of the plant and will be pumped back to the first purification zone via a return system. The now treated liquid meets the required standard and can pass out of the Tricel Novo.
7 Key Reasons to Choose a Tricel Novo IE6
There are many key reasons to choose a Tricel Novo wastewater treatment plant. Please find below some of them.
Highly durable SMC tank
A Tricel Novo is constructed from a compression moulded SMC tank. Compression moulding is one of the most technologically developed processes for manufacturing structural composites. Components are manufactured under heat and high pressure and have unrivalled strength and durability over standard GRP or polyethene tanks.
SMC is unique in the wastewater treatment industry. Tricel SMC tanks have operated in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects.
Environmental agency compliance
Tricel Novo complies with the Environment Agency General Binding Rules in England, Natural Resources Wales exemption criteria and SEPA requirements in Scotland. Tricel advises consulting with your local agency on the effluent treatment required.
Fully tested and certified
All Tricel wastewater treatment plants have been tested for European certification EN 12566-3. This certification pushes all plants for strength, water tightness, durability and treatment efficiency.
By using a wastewater treatment plant which is CE certified. You can rest assured that it has complied with tests and inspections, guaranteeing an elevated level of security and efficiency.
Minimum maintenance and repair costs
No moving parts or pumps in the plant, ensuring reliable operation. Minimal maintenance and repair costs.
Lower installation costs
No concrete backfills are required for installation on most sites saving up to £300 over lower quality GRP or polyethene alternatives from competitors.
Fitted alarm
There is a factory alarm fitted onto all Tricel Novo systems. This system will warn you if something needs to be done on the Tricel Novo.
Ceramic diffuser
Tricel’s ceramic diffuser is unique in the domestic wastewater treatment plant market. It will last twice as long as the standard competitors’ rubber equivalents. This saves money on both call-out fees and replacement parts.
