SEWAGE TREATMENT
Tricel novo UK 6
OVERVIEW
Definition of a Sewage Treatment plant – Tricel Novo UK 6
A sewage treatment plant is intended primarily for individual homes and businesses (package treatment plant) not connected to a main sewer. It works on the same principle as the collective purification plants but in a miniaturised version for individual use.
There is plenty of reasons to choose a Tricel Novo UK 6. Three words best describe the Tricel Novo UK 6 wastewater treatment plant simple, robust and reliable. The Tricel Novo UK 6 is a leading micro-purification plant, and these systems offer the best value for money.
KEY BENEFITS OF A TRICEL NOVO UK 6 PLANT:
- Compact: about five m² of floor space (for five or six population equivalents);
- Lightweight: (270 kg): easy and inexpensive installation (sewage treatment plant with concrete tank weights more than two tons);
- Efficient: effective treatment, no risk of clogging;
- Adaptable: suitable for all types of terrain (difficult ground, the presence of groundwater);
- Reliable: long life (20 to 40 years, whereas the spreading of a traditional die must be replaced every 10 to 20 years);
- Tested and certified: for structural strength, water tightness, durability and treatment efficiency, adhering to European Standard EN12566- 3 (like all sewage treatment solutions manufactured by Tricel)

How is Tricel Novo UK 6 plant working?
The Novo UK 6 is an innovative sewage treatment plant based on wastewater treatment system technology which utilises a fixed culture process to treat effluent or grey water. This technology is renowned for its exceptional purifying performance and excellent behaviour on load variations. Thanks to its highly efficient self-regulating process, which consists of a bacterial bed combined with a sludge recirculation system, the Novo 6 can treat both:
- Capacity overloads when friends or guests visit your home
- Absence of charge, for when the unit is underused due to lack of, or less, people utilising the system.
Both events can safely occur without causing bacteria deterioration and impacting the system’s quality processes. The bacteria in the Tricel Novo UK are living organisms that adapt to the fluctuations of the waste supply they consume to live.
In times of high-capacity loading, the bacteria will multiply to consume the extra volume being supplied. Furthermore, in times of low operation, the bacteria reduce in mass to match consumption requirements.
7 Key Reasons to Choose a Tricel Novo UK 6
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 molding stands out as an advanced technological method for producing structural composites, where components are crafted with exceptional strength and durability by subjecting them to high pressure and heat. This surpasses the standard strength and durability of GRP or polyethylene tanks. In the wastewater treatment sector, SMC is truly unique. Tricel SMC tanks have operated in some of the harshest climatic conditions for over 50 years with no defects.
Environmental agency compliance
Tricel Novo adheres to the General Binding Rules set by the Environment Agency in England, meets the exemption criteria established by Natural Resources Wales, and fulfills the requirements specified by SEPA in Scotland. Tricel recommends consulting with your local agency to determine the necessary effluent treatment.
Fully tested and certified
Every Tricel sewage treatment plant undergoes testing for European certification EN 12566-3. This certification rigorously assesses the strength, water tightness, durability, and treatment efficiency of all plants. Opting for a CE-certified sewage treatment plant ensures compliance with stringent tests and inspections, providing a high level of assurance regarding both security and efficiency.
Minimum maintenance and repair costs
The plant operates reliably without any moving parts or pumps, leading to minimal maintenance and repair expenses.
Lower installation costs
Installation on most sites does not necessitate concrete backfills, resulting in savings of up to £300 compared to lower-quality alternatives from competitors using GRP or polyethylene.
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 sewage 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
A cesspool is a simple storage vessel with an inlet and no outlet. It’s a sealed storage vessel; all the water coming in stays within the tank. The advantage is it doesn’t need an outlet. The disadvantages are: there is no treatment, the tanks are huge, and it needs regular emptying. Everything which has gone in must be sucked out. Ideal for sites which have got very infrequent use (Sheppard huts, for example).
A septic tank has an inlet and an outlet; it’s a simple overflow system. See how a septic tank works here. The advantages of the septic tank are there is no mechanic and no electricity requirement for it to work. The disadvantages are you are discharging dirty water, and untreated sewage effluent, as a tiny breakdown has occurred in the tank. You can only release water to a drainage field for the water to go through the subsoil to treat the water.
A sewage or package treatment plant has an inlet and an outlet; the wastewater is treated inside the tank. Aeration is provided inside the tank for the aerobic bacteria to feed on the waste and remove it from the liquid. The advantages are the wastewater is treated and can be discharged to a watercourse.
Many package treatment plants are available on the market:
- Trickles filters
- Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC)
- Mobile media bio-reactors
- Activated Sludge systems
- Sequence Batch Reactor systems (SBR)
- Fixed Bed Systems (like the Tricel Novo)
UK sewage treatment plants must comply with EN 12566-3 2005 regulations.
You should also hire a professional to install your sewage treatment system. For any sewage treatment plants you intend to install, you should also check your local guidelines to determine if planning permission is required.
A sewage treatment plant is where domestic wastewater and sewage are treated. The sewage treatment plants break down organic matter through the primary settlement and aeration chambers. Sewage treatment plants require little maintenance and have low running costs, and sewage effluent is discharged into drainage fields or watercourses.
For example, the required standards are 20:30:20 for BOD, SS, and NH4.
Tricel® has achieved an 11:16:9 result during independent testing.
In order for the biomass to reach its optimum purification, it may take up to 16 weeks.
You may be able to discharge directly into a watercourse or to a percolation area depending on your region. Find out which option is best for you by contacting your local council.
The sewage treatment plant’s size depends on the effluent volume from your house. It is determined by the number of people using the system, which is calculated based on the number of bedrooms in your home. If you need further information, contact our team.
Occasionally, your sewage treatment plant will need to be emptied due to the accumulated sludge inside – usually once a year. The frequency of emptying your treatment plant depends on its size and usage. See our dedicated page about desludging septic tanks and wastewater treatment plants.
1) to prevent surface water from entering the tank and overloading the system as this can inhibit growth of the bacteria and could reduce the effluent quality.
2) to prevent water getting into blower housing which can harm the control panel and the air blower.
