Tricel Novo works in three stages
Stage 1: the primary settlement chamber
In the first stage of sewage treatment, anaerobic breakdown takes place in the primary settlement chamber. The wastewater is introduced and the solids drop to the bottom, becoming separated from the liquid.
Stage 2: the aeration chamber
The next stage of the wastewater treatment involves aerobic breakdown. This takes place in the aeration chamber, where masses of naturally occurring bacteria inhabit specially designed filter media.
These bacteria are sustained with air, which is continuously supplied from a purpose-built pump in the unit’s top section. As the liquid flows slowly through the filter media, the bacteria feed on the waste and remove it from the liquid.
Stage 3: final settlement chamber
In the last stage of wastewater treatment, the liquid flows from the aeration chamber into the final settlement chamber. Suspended sludge consisting of bacteria is carried with the liquid into the settlement chamber and settles to the bottom of the chamber.
From there, a continuous sludge return system pumps it back to the primary settlement chamber. The remaining treated liquid now meets the required standard to be safely passed out of the Tricel system.

Wastewater treatment Tricel Novo: Key features & benefits
- Compression moulded SMC tank. Components are manufactured under heat and high pressure and have unrivalled strength and durability over standard GRP or PE tanks.
- SMC is unique in the wastewater treatment industry. With its innovation, Tricel SMC tanks have been operating in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects.
- Tricel’s ceramic diffuser is unique in the domestic wastewater treatment plant market and will last twice as long as all standard competitors’ rubber equivalents.
- No concrete backfill for installation on most sites, saving up to €400
Commercial customers will most likely reach out to us for our wastewater treatment systems because they cannot connect to the main drainage or because the main drainage itself has reached its capacity. With Tricel manufacturers, wastewater treatment systems are cost-effective and straightforward to install, ensuring effective wastewater treatment to the highest standards in the market today.
We manufacture systems in compliance with EN Standards, and the sizes are based on building occupancy. Standard EN approved systems range from population 6 to 50, and our production capacity extends beyond this range if you require a sizeable custom-designed system.SMC is unique in the wastewater treatment industry. With its innovation, Tricel SMC tanks have been operating in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects.

Key features & benefits of sewage treatment plants
► Compression moulded SMC tank. The compression moulding process is one of the most technologically developed processes available to manufacture structural composites. Components are manufactured under heat and high pressure and have unrivalled strength and durability over standard GRP tanks or PE tanks.
► SMC is unique in the wastewater treatment industry with Tricel SMC tanks operating in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects.
► Tricel’s ceramic diffuser is unique in the domestic wastewater treatment plant market and will last twice as long as all standard competitors rubber equivalents. This saves money in both call out fees and replacement parts.
► No concrete backfill for installation on most sites saving up to €400 over lower quality GRP/plastic competitors.
► No moving parts or pumps in the plant ensuring reliable operation and minimal maintenance and repair costs.
► Tricel Novo plants are designed with a shallow invert to reduce both installation and time costs.
► Factory fitted alarm on all systems.
► Integrated pumped outlet available on all systems.

When used properly, the plant equipment and components are specifically designed or chosen to perform effectively in the Tricel facility. The guarantee is valid from the date of purchase. We offer a warranty on most of our products. You can find all the guarantees on our products and internal parts on our product pages.
Various plants are available from Tricel for different options. Discussing this with your local council is best to determine a suitable solution. Contact us.
There is a slight “hum” from the air compressor when standing close to the plant. When installed correctly, the noise level will not be a nuisance.
The plant should not be affected by a temporary power outage. After a power cut, checking the plant to ensure it has restarted is essential. It may have an alarm after powering on, but it will fix itself after a few minutes.
In situations where gravity drainage cannot be used, pumped options are available The power outage shouldn’t last too long when you have pump options as power is required to remove the treated liquid. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
An audible and visual alarm is standard and will notify you if there is a problem with the air compressor and discharge pump (pumped plants only), but this does not replace regular inspections. A maintenance agreement is recommended with us to ensure the plant’s optimal performance. Contact us.
