SEWAGE TREATMENT
Sewage Treatment Plants - Tricel Novo
OVERVIEW
The Tricel Novo is designed for domestic and light commercial applications, the submerged aeration sewage treatment plant utilises a proven fixed bed technology
The plant consists of three independent treatment zones, each serving different stages of the sewage purification process.
These highly efficient sewage treatment plants can accommodate populations ranging from 1 to 50 PE (Population Equivalent).
Tricel Novo products are manufactured from the robust glass-reinforced polymer material – GPR, ensuring a resilient and durable solution.
SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT KEY BENEFITS:
- Compression moulded SMC tank: Employing one of the most advanced technological processes, compression moulding is utilised for crafting structural composites. Components undergo manufacturing under high heat and pressure, exhibiting unparalleled strength and durability compared to standard GRP or PE tanks.
- SMC stands out in the sewage treatment industry, with Tricel SMC tanks operating in some of the most challenging climatic conditions without defects.
- Tricel’s ceramic diffuser, a distinctive feature in the domestic sewage treatment plants market, boasts twice the lifespan of standard rubber equivalents, leading to cost savings in call-out fees and replacement parts.
- Installation on most sites requires no concrete backfill.
- The plant operates with no moving parts or pumps in the tank, ensuring reliable operation and minimizing maintenance and repair costs.
- Tricel Novo plants are designed with a shallow invert, reducing both installation costs and time.
- Factory-fitted alarm *Excludes Novo SR
- Integrated pumped outlet *Excludes Novo SR
- Approved to the European Standard EN12566-3, these systems have earned the CE Mark after thorough testing in an independent laboratory for nine months.
- 20-year warranty is provided for the SMC structure.
- 3-year warranty covers mechanical parts *Excludes Novo SR

HOW DO SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS WORK?
Stage 1: Primary Settlement Chamber
During the initial phase of sewage treatment, the primary settlement chamber facilitates anaerobic breakdown. Sewage is introduced, causing solids to settle at the bottom, effectively separating them from the liquid.
Stage 2: Aeration Chamber
The subsequent stage of sewage treatment involves aerobic breakdown occurring in the aeration chamber. Specially designed filter media within this chamber host masses of naturally occurring bacteria. These bacteria are sustained with compressed air supplied from an air-blower in the unit’s top section. As the liquid gradually moves through the filter media, bacteria feed on the waste, extracting it from the liquid.
Stage 3: Final Settlement Chamber
In the concluding phase of the sewage treatment, the liquid flows from the aeration chamber to the final settlement chamber. Suspended sludge, composed of bacteria, accompanies the liquid into the settlement chamber and settles at the chamber’s bottom.
Any sludge is subsequently returned (via an airlift) to the primary settlement chamber. The remaining treated liquid now meets the necessary standards for safe discharge from the Tricel sewage treatment plants system.

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.
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 field or watercourse.
For example, the required standards are 20:30:20 for BOD, SS, and NH4.
Tricel® Novo has achieved a 11:16:8 mg/l result during independent testing.
In order for the biomass to reach its optimum purification, it may take up to 16 weeks.
No, it’s not reusable in the UK.
The sewage treatment plant’s size depends on the maximum occupancy of your home. 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.
