Tricel Puraflo Applications
Tricel Puraflo modules can be used in secondary and tertiary treatment applications. The appropriate
treatment depends on the level of treatment required, the flow rates and the area available on site for the
installation.
2.3.1
Secondary Treatment
•
For secondary treatment, the Tricel Puraflo is used in conjunction with a septic tank.
•
A Tricel Puraflo secondary treatment kit comprises of an effluent filter (must be fitted
to the septic tank) a pumping chamber with control & alarm kiosk as well as the Puraflo
modules with a sampling chamber.
2.3.2
Tertiary Treatment
•
Environmentally sensitive sites or sites that are restricted in terms of space, often require a higher
level of treatment. This is achieved by passing the secondary treated wastewater through the Tricel
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.
