Sand filters for wastewater treatment

Tricel Sandcel Sand Polishing Filter

Sandcel is a sand polishing filter designed to “EPA Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems Serving Single Houses (p.e. ≤ 10) 2021” standards.

The Sandcel sand polishing filter provides a dual function of polishing the effluent from a wastewater treatment system and disposing of the treated liquid into groundwater.

It incorporates an enclosed sand filter, which can be installed under or over ground at varying heights to suit varying site conditions.

Larger Sandcel filters can be designed for larger applications by our inhouse team.

How does a sand filter for wastewater treatment (Tricel Sandcel) work?

Sandcel Sand Filters are designed as tertiary treatment systems.

These filters are the perfect solution for the treatment and dispersal of secondary treated effluent from a sewage treatment plant.

The Sandcel units are made up from layers of certified drainage sands, enclosed within GRP impermeable panels which will not rot or decay in the ground.

The Sandcel Filters can be installed above or below ground, with all pipework accessible from a service pod for annual maintenance.

Why use a sand filter for wastewater treatment?

  • Solid impermeable structure: the Sandcel enclosure will not rot or decay like timber surrounds.
  • Small footprint: only 16m2 area for a 6-person application eliminating the need for large percolation area (restricted sites).
  • Aesthetic finish: the filter can be covered with topsoil and planted with a lawn to blend into garden.
  • Long life components: certified sands and gravel used as the filter bed which will not break down over time.
  • Flexible design: under and over ground applications possible.
  • Future: pipework accessible from service pod to future proof your system.
  • Engineered design: specifically designed pipework network to ensure equal distribution over the entire bed.
  • High performance: excellent treatment of effluent.
