Plant operation:
Once installation, plumbing and the electrical installation are completed, the Tricel
Duos is now operational.
The plant should already be filled with water during installation. If not, it should be filled before its first use. If
the plant is running correctly, a slight “hum” will be heard from the air blower and there will be air bubbles
coming up evenly from the bottom of the aeration chamber, rising to the surface.
Once the Tricel Duos plant is installed and operational, it is important that it’s commissioned by our service
team or a Tricel Duos distributor to ensure it is working effectively. A commissioning certificate will then be
issued to the customer.
The plant runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all year round for optimum purification. It may take up to 13
weeks for the biomass to become fully established and to reach optimum purification. All plants are fitted with
an alarm, which will alert of irregularities in the system.
15. Disposal of treated water:
The treated wastewater from the Tricel Duos plant should be disposed of as per guidelines from the
planning regulations issued by your local authority.
