The remaining treated wastewater now meets the required standard and is safely passed out of the Tricel Novo plant. The treated effluent is now ready for discharge to a suitably designed discharge area as required by the relevant local authority.
Two-tank Tricel Novo plants require a stepped installation: 3.3 Pumped Outlet All Tricel Novo tanks are available with a pumped outlet option. The pump is housed in the • final settlement chamber of the plant. A non-return valve installed on the pumped outlet will prevent backflow into the plant.
The Tricel Novo pumped outlet plant has a 50mm end-connector compression fitting which is positioned on the turret of the Tricel Novo. 50mm OD MDPE black piping must be connected to this end-connector compression fitting to transfer the treated wastewater to the discharge point.
4 Transportation & lifting Tanks must be held down during transportation using nylon straps, do not use cables • or chains to secure tanks. Do not over tighten straps that can result in deformation of the tank shell. Do not drop or roll tanks from the truck. Move tanks only by lifting and setting, do not drag or roll.
4.2 Lifting tanks of 5-6 modules (Max. 6.6m) • Tanks which are greater than four modules (4.6m) in length should be lifted using the slings provided as depicted per Option 3, shown below. However, on sites where lifting height is restricted, a lifting bar should be used as shown in Option 4: Note: To ensure the angle of the sling is not greater than 60 , as per Option 1 above, the following...
Once tank installation is complete, Tricel cannot accept any claims for damage. • 5.3 Positioning and precautions Do not undertake the installation of the Tricel Novo in an area subject to flooding or excessive • water runoff as no flood waters should enter the tank.
The Tricel Novo is not suitable to be used in water logged sites, where the ground water may • rise above the inlet invert pipe. When selecting the location of the Tricel Novo, ensure that it is always accessible for future •...
5.5.1.1 Excavation: Length & Width Length and width of the excavation must exceed the dimensions of the Tricel wastewater treatment plant by a minimum 500mm to maintain a minimum space of 250mm all around the tank. Note:...

5.5.1.2 Excavation: Depth The depth that the Tricel Novo must be installed is determined by the outlet pipe from the source of the wastewater. Please refer to section 5.9 ‘Risers’ to determine the maximum invert for the Tricel Novo. Allowances for maximum inverts must be made when the connecting sewer system is being designed by a qualified individual.
5.5.2 Installation – step by step guide Installation required Steps Gravel Concrete Remove any soft spots or large stones and boulders. A 250mm layer of suitably compacted 50mm layer of suitably compacted gravel, gravel forms the base. covered with a 250mm layer of semi dry concrete forms the base....
5.6 Gravel specification Primary backfill specification: Primary backfill material should be free-flowing granular material. • Compaction should be by lightweight rollers or vibratory plate. Compact gravel evenly to • ensure proper support for the tank. Ensure the vibrating machine does not come in contact with the shell of the tank.
5.7 Concrete specification Semi dry concrete 25n grade with a ratio of 4.5 aggregate to 1 cement. Important: Standard concrete mixes should not be used, where sulphates or similarly aggressive • chemicals are present in the groundwater. Lift height (rate of rise): Determine the lift height (m), or rate of rise (m/h) for the specific •...
5.9 Risers If a Tricel Novo requires a deeper than standard installation in order to align with the wastewater outlet pipe from the dwelling, manhole risers are available to facilitate this and to avoid the access hatch being positioned in a depression, as shown in the diagram:...
5.10 Non-standard installations 5.10.1 Alternative to concrete backfill (for wet sites without risers only) The option of securing the Tricel Novo to a reinforced concrete slab or Deadman anchor • by way of straps may also be used, as shown below: Tricel accepts no responsibility for the design of the concrete slab/Deadman anchor.
immediately above the tank, separate it from the concrete surrounding the tank by a compressible material. 5.11 Electrical requirements Important: Please ensure the electrical installation complies with all national regulations and • requirements. Electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician. •...
Once i n s t a l l a t i o n o f the Tricel Novo plant i s c o m p l e t e and i t i s operational, it is important that it be commissioned by our service team or a Tricel Novo distributor to ensure it is working effectively.
Each valve must not be closed more than 50% as this will result in irreparable damage to the air-blower. • Only Tricel approved personnel should make adjustments to the diffuser-manifold. 6.2 Timed sludge-return system (only applicable to plants UK18 and greater) The timed sludge-return system is set to operate for 15 mins followed by a rest period of 1 hour 45 mins.
7 Disposal of treated water Dispose of the treated wastewater from the Tricel Novo as per guidelines from the planning regulations issued by your local authority. 8 Maintenance Warning Any maintenance carried out inside the tank represents a confined space. Therefore, the maintenance person must be suitably trained to work in confined spaces.
Empty the Tricel Novo using a vacuum tanker. Ensure the removal of the solids with the • liquid. Care must be taken not to damage the Tricel Novo with the hose of the vacuum tanker. • Replace the de-sludging access cover securely.

Similarly, if Tricel size the plant and a greater load is then placed on the plant by the addition of extra houses, bedrooms, schools, crèches, etc. or by other means, Tricel is not responsible for the plant overloading or the quality of effluent as the retention times may be compromised.

Low line voltage or wired An electrician should check the power supply to incorrectly. the plant. Filter blocked. Replace filter. Blower operates but Diaphragm damaged/torn delivers no air Replace damaged diaphragm. (If applicable). Defective blower Air blower must be checked by a qualified malfunction.
Before taking any corrective action, always positively identify the real source of the odour. Check if the odour is coming from another outside source such as a storm drain. All Tricel Novos’ vent gases back through soil pipe and out roof vents. Improperly installed roof vents can cause odour problems.
