1. 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. Sewage and sewage effluent can carry micro-organisms and gases
harmful to human health. Any person carrying out maintenance on the plant must be appropriately trained.
Suitable protection equipment including gloves, goggles etc. should be worn at all times. Always remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment after completion of work. Wash hands and face prior to eating,
drinking or smoking. Refer to Health and safety precautions in Section 1
A certain amount of plant maintenance is required, on an ongoing basis to ensure that the plant is working
correctly. This is the responsibility of the homeowner.
16.1 Regular maintenance:
The vent around the base of the blower housing, guarantees a fresh supply of air to the air blower. The vent
under the de-sludging cover allows gas to escape and stops the tank from becoming pressurised. All vents
should be checked to make sure they are not blocked or obscured.
Ensure the air blower is working by listening for a gentle hum when standing beside the plant.
Inspect pipework for blockages if necessary.
16.2 Yearly 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.
16.2.1 Yearly service:
During routine servicing the following items are checked if applicable
Sludge return Functionality of blower and / or pump
