Determining Domestic Sewage Treatment Plant Prices

sewage treatment plant will require a monetary commitment from manufacturing to installation to power to maintenance. Don’t stress, however. Let’s make a list of what to expect.

The Hardware

It all starts with the unit itself. As with anything, quality is the primary contributor to product costs. Of course, the type of system matters, too, so several variables must be considered.

The first is size. Tank size, measured in terms of person equivalent (PE), impacts unit cost. In determining PE, you can reference the code of practice rules set forth by British Water.

As a general rule of thumb, expect £1700 to £3000 for a 6-person treatment plant and £1900 to £3500 for an 8-person treatment plant.

Other variables include additional add-ons to the treatment plant, such as extra ventilation.

Installation Fees

Implied within installation fees is a delivery fee. Your unit will need to be shipped to you. The cost will depend on the size and how quickly you need it.
While sewage treatment plants are lightweight and compact, they still need spatial accommodations. Simply put, the tank needs a hole. Providing it will require a digging fee. The larger the unit, the larger the excavation necessary the greater the cost.
Also, consider disposal costs if the new unit is replacing an old one.
Expect installation fees of £2000 to £8000, depending on the plant size and the site’s ground conditions.

Power Supply

How does a sewage treatment plant work? Power. The sewage treatment plant has a motor that requires power. Specifically, the aeration system, or electric air blower, ensures the plant has a continuous supply of fresh air to nourish the bacteria-fighting sewage. An ample power supply is optional, but it must comply with the electrical codes of your town/city.

Maintenance Costs

Maintenance costs will vary from system to system, but expect to pay something regardless, for an unmaintained unit is ineffective. Routine professional service, at least once yearly, should be expected.
During this service, a professional will perform various tasks, such as desludging and filter replacement. Expect to pay around £120 for the service fee and costs for any parts that need to be replaced.

Why is it important to have a Tricel sewage treatment plant?

 

The Tricel Novo wastewater treatment system offers a range of compelling advantages that underscore its importance in modern environmental and sanitation contexts. Here are several key reasons why having a Tricel Novo system is important:

  1. Efficient Wastewater Treatment: The Tricel Novo system employs advanced treatment processes that effectively break down and treat wastewater, removing impurities, contaminants, and harmful pathogens. This ensures that the treated water released back into the environment is of a higher quality and less likely to cause pollution.
  2. Environmental Conservation: Proper wastewater treatment is crucial for safeguarding the environment. The Tricel Novo system plays a vital role in preventing the contamination of local water bodies, soil, and groundwater, thereby preserving ecosystems and maintaining the overall health of the environment.
  3. Regulatory Compliance: Many regions have strict regulations and guidelines regarding wastewater treatment standards. The Tricel Novo system is designed to meet or exceed these regulations, helping homeowners and businesses stay compliant with environmental laws.
  4. Reduced Public Health Risks: Untreated or improperly treated wastewater can pose significant health risks to communities. By using the Tricel Novo system, the potential for waterborne diseases and infections is greatly minimized, contributing to better public health outcomes.
  5. Long-Term Cost Savings: While the initial investment in a Tricel Novo system may be a consideration, its efficiency and durability can lead to significant long-term cost savings. Reduced maintenance, lower energy consumption, and fewer repair needs all contribute to a more economical wastewater treatment solution over time.
  6. Preservation of Water Resources: Water scarcity is a global concern, and treating wastewater for reuse contributes to the conservation of valuable water resources. The Tricel Novo system can treat wastewater to a standard suitable for irrigation, landscaping, and other non-potable purposes, helping reduce the strain on freshwater supplies.
  7. Technological Innovation: The Tricel Novo system incorporates innovative technologies to optimize its performance. These advancements reflect the ongoing commitment to improving wastewater treatment efficiency and sustainability.

In conclusion, having a Tricel Novo wastewater treatment system is important for a multitude of reasons, ranging from environmental protection and regulatory compliance to public health and resource conservation. Its advanced treatment processes, adaptability, and long-term benefits make it a significant asset in the realm of modern sanitation and sustainable development.

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.
