11.1 Odours
When the Tricel Vitae gets installed and operated correctly, there should be no strong odour in the
area adjacent to the plant. The presence of a strong odour would indicate that the plant is not
working effectively.
Note:
Before taking any corrective action, always positively identify the real source of the odour.
Check if the odour is coming from another outside source such as a storm drain. All Tricel
Vitae’s plants vent gases back through soil pipe’s and out roof vents. Improperly installed roof
vents can cause odour problems. Traps in drains prevent odours from entering the home. To
function, they must contain water and be sealed correctly.
Symptom Possible Causes Solutions
Strong effluent odour
directly outside the
house or inside the
house
Pipe connections to toilets/drain not
connected correctly
Check that the traps/U - bends in the drains are
fitted and the joints sealed
Air vents on pipework not installed
correctly
Ensure all effluent pipes are vented
correctly. Vents are typically fitted to all
pipes, and they should be higher than the
eve of the roof.
Pipework is damaged, blocked or not
installed correctly
Inspect pipework to ensure it is undamaged
and clear of obstructions or sagging
Strong effluent odour
directly over the tank
Pipework to or from the tank is
suffering blockage
Check the level of wastewater in the tank.
Ensure the pipes are not blocked and are
installed correctly to the tank.
Chemical kill of bacteria Empty the tanks and fill with fresh water
No oxygen is entering the tank Clear any blockages in the vents

Note:
Smoke bombs/pellets, available from a plumber’s merchants, can be used to trace
the source the odour.
