In the evolving landscape of wastewater management, the Tricel Maxus Combi stands out as a state-of-the-art solution tailored for applications exceeding 50 Population Equivalent (PE).

This all-in-one treatment plant employs Submerged Aerated Filter (SAF) technology, ensuring efficient and reliable wastewater treatment for various establishments, including housing estates, hotels, restaurants, campsites, resorts, schools, villages, factories, and retail units.

Key features and benefits

  • Proven SAF technology: The Tricel Maxus Combi utilises established SAF technology, delivering exceptional treatment performance. This method ensures that wastewater is treated effectively, meeting EPA standards; 
  • Adaptability to load variations: Designed to handle both seasonal fluctuations and constant loads, the system's control panel automatically adjusts to incoming wastewater volumes, maintaining optimal performance regardless of usage patterns; 
  • Energy efficiency: Extensively tested and ETA verified, particularly for holiday home applications, the Tricel Maxus Combi enters a power-saving mode during periods of inactivity. It seamlessly restarts upon detecting flow without requiring manual intervention, thereby conserving energy;
  • Robust and user-friendly design: Constructed for durability, the system is easy to install and operate. With no moving parts within the plant, maintenance is straightforward, leading to reduced operational costs over its lifespan;
  • Versatile application: The technology is adaptable to varying loadings and effluent strengths, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial settings. Whether dealing with high or low Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) loads, the system can be tailored to meet specific site requirements;
  • Comprehensive support and service: With swift backup and service options available in Ireland, a range of service contracts ensures that the system remains in optimal condition, providing peace of mind to operators.

Operational overview

The Tricel Maxus Combi operates through a four-stage process:

  1. Septic Tank: Incoming wastewater first enters the septic tank, where primary treatment occurs. Heavy solids settle to form sludge, while lighter materials like oils and fats float to the surface.
  2. Buffer Zone: Partially treated water then moves to the buffer tank, which balances any fluctuations in flow, ensuring a consistent rate into the biological treatment zone.
  3. Biological Treatment Zone: Here, the submerged aerated filter provides a large surface area for microorganisms. Intense aeration facilitates the breakdown of organic pollutants without the risk of clogging or the need for chemical additives.
  4. Clarifier: In the final stage, remaining bio-sludge settles out, and airlift pumps recirculate it back to the septic tank. The fully treated effluent is then ready for discharge.

Technical specifications

The Tricel Maxus Combi is available in various models to suit different project needs more than 50PE.

For instance, the Combi 3A/B model measures 2.42 metres in height, 2.30 metres in width, and 5.782 metres in length, with a septic tank capacity ranging from 7.4 to 9.1 cubic metres, depending on the specific configuration. Power consumption at maximum load is approximately 6.3 kWh per day, with reduced energy usage during lower load periods.

For professionals in the engineering and construction sectors seeking a reliable, efficient, and adaptable wastewater treatment solution, the Tricel Maxus Combi offers a compelling choice.

Its combination of proven technology, energy efficiency, and robust design ensures it meets the diverse demands of commercial wastewater management.
