    1.3 Installation: • Excavation work should be planned with due regard to health and safety requirements. • Excavation should either be shored or battered back to a “safe” angle • Use appropriate lifting equipment • Care should be taken around grounds work machinery •...
  • Page 5 Ensure sufficient lifting height can be achieved and is available on site. If not a lifting bar as per option 2 is required. Option 1* Option 2* 6. Tanks which are greater than 4 modules (4.6m) in length should be lifted using the slings provided as per option 3, shown below.

  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. Introduction: Tricel Novo wastewater treatment plants are manufactured from Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) ensuring a durable and strong product. The Tricel Novo is manufactured in modular components and these modules are fabricated together to make different size tanks. The Tricel Novo Submerged aeration plant is suitable for domestic and light commercial applications. These plants use a simple proven technology, comprising of 3 treatment zones.

  • Page 16: Manhole Risers - (Deep Inverts)

    500mm enter the plant 750mm Only a Tricel Novo manhole risers should be used *Plants with a manhole riser of 500mm or 750mm must have a concrete installation. 500mm and 750mm risers cannot be retrofitted unless the correct installation is in place.

  • Page 17: Installation

    This is the responsibility of the onsite contractor. The Tricel Novo is suitable for a maximum manhole riser of 750mm which gives a maximum inlet invert of 1310mm, as per picture. The Tricel Novo is not suitable where a deeper installation is required.

  • Page 18: Quick Installation Guidelines

    10.2 Quick installation guidelines: A dry site is one where the water table never rises higher than the base of the Tricel Novo plant. A wet Site is one where the water table may rise higher than the base of the Tricel Novo plant.
  • Page 19 Lift tank into position and align height for connecting pipe work.   Ensure correct inlet and outlet orientations of the plant, which may   contain 1 or more tanks. Ensure that each tank is 100% level.   Connect pipe work, as required.

  • Page 20: Detailed Installation Information

    10.3 Detailed installation information: The Tricel Novo must be situated a minimum of 7m from the dwelling and as far away as practically possible considering topography and pipe work levels. The Tricel Novo should not be installed in an area subject to flooding or excessive water runoff.

  • Page 22 (or its concrete surround). If this slab is constructed immediately above the tank, it should be separated from the concrete surrounding the tank by a compressible material. Installation guidelines are available from www.uk.tricel.eu 10.3.4 Control of groundwater: During installation tanks must not be subjected to buoyant forces.

  • Page 23: Gravel Installation

    A gravel surround can be used in dry site conditions if the inlet invert is less than 810mm (maximum 250mm riser). A dry site is one where the water table never rises higher than the base of the Tricel Novo tank. 10.4.1 Tank base/plinth: •...

  • Page 24: Concrete Installation

    810mm and 1310mm (plants with 500mm and 750mm risers). A wet site is one where the water table may rise higher than the base of the Tricel Novo tank. The option of a reinforced concrete slab or deadman anchor may also be used. This should be designed by an on-site structural engineer to suit site conditions.

  • Page 25: Plinth And Backfill Specifications

    10.5.2 Installing onto the base/plinth: • Mechanically lift the plant carefully into the centre of the hole before the concrete sets. • The tank must be dead level on the plinth. • Connect and seal the pipe work to the tank appropriately. 10.5.3 Backfilling a wet site: Refer to backfill specification appropriate for site conditions •...

    Grease Trap: Best practice indicates that a grease trap be fitted before the plant particularly in applications where high quantities of grease exist in the wastewater. Sampling chamber: Best practice indicates that a chamber be fitted after every unit to allow easy access for sampling purposes. The inlet of the chamber must be higher than the outlet to facilitate sampling cup.

  • Page 29: Access

    All units are fitted with an alarm, which will alert of irregularities in the plant. 1. Disposal of treated water: The treated wastewater from the Tricel Novo plant should be disposed of as per guidelines from the planning regulations issued by your local authority.

  • Page 30: Maintenance

    The inlet and outlet should be inspected and rodded to remove any blockages if necessary. The Tricel Novo plant will require a full service every year to guarantee the efficiency of the plant is maintained. Service personnel must be accommodated with clear access to the tank.
