Page 6: Health & Safety Precautions
1 Health & Safety Precautions This manual contains basic information on the installation, operation and maintenance of the Tricel Puraflo wastewater treatment system. For this reason, it is essential that these instructions are carefully read and understood before installation or commissioning by both the installation crew as well as those responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system. -
Page 7: Electrical/Maintenance
All electrical work to be carried out by competent persons using suitable materials for the application. • Do not open the Tricel Puraflo alarm cover without firstly isolating the mains power.

Page 8: Introduction: Tricel Puraflo
2 Introduction: Tricel Puraflo Tricel Puraflo is a modular wastewater treatment system which can cater for large or small populations. It is a flexible system which can treat effluent from one-off domestic houses, small communities and light commercial applications through the implementation of additional Puraflo modules. -
Page 9: How A Tricel Puraflo Plant Works
2.1 How a Tricel Puraflo Plant works: Typical Tricel Puraflo System Stage 1 Liquid effluent is pumped, by submersible pump, intermittently on- demand to the Puraflo modules. Stage 2 Effluent is distributed evenly onto the peat filter via a distribution grid at the top of each Puraflo module. -

Puraflo modules, within which the wastewater is treated to a higher treatment level this is known as tertiary treatment. Tertiary treatment will achieve very high-level pathogen and nutrient reduction. • A Tricel Puraflo tertiary treatment kit consists of a pump with control and alarm kiosk, the Puraflo modules as well as a sampling chamber. -

• The submersible pump and float switch is fitted with a thermal overload protection. • Effluent from the septic tank or waste water treatment is pumped via a 1.5inch pipe to the Tricel Puraflo modules. • The standard pump can cater for a total head of up to 5 metres. For systems that are subject to a total head greater than 5m, alternative pumps can be sourced. -
Page 14: Pipework
3.2.4 Pipework The pipework supplied with the Tricel Puraflo modules to collect the treated wastewater from the Puraflo modules, and the pipework used for the dispersion of wastewater on top of the peat inside the Puraflo modules, is in accordance with BS 3505: 1986* *Specification for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) pressure pipes for cold potable water. - Page 15 Important If you required drawings for larger Tricel Puraflo systems from 12 to 50PE, please visit http://ie.tricel.eu/downloads/.
