The Tricel Novo submerged aeration sewage treatment plant is suitable for domestic and light commercial or communal applications. The plant offers its own treatment system while using simple proven fixed bed technology. Each system of the wastewater treatment plant is made of three independent treatment zones, all fulfilling three different stages of the wastewater purification process.
These highly functional plants can cater for ranges from 1 to 50 PE (Population Equivalent).
Tricel Novo products are manufactured from one of the strongest glass reinforced plastic materials available, SMC. This guarantees a very robust and durable product.
How do sewage treatment plants work?
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.
