Trithon innovation validated by ETV, Environmental Technology Verification

20/04/2022

Simop, leader in the wastewater treatment market, has developed a new product to treat runoff water. its innovation, Trithon®, is designed to trap suspended solids and floating matters such as micro-plastistcs. This new product imagined by SIMOP is verified by the ETV, the European program in charge of controlling the performance of innovative environmental technologies.

Simop, leader in the wastewater treatment market, has developed a new product to treat runoff water. its innovation, Trithon®, is designed to trap suspended solids and floating matters such as micro-plastistcs.

This new product imagined by SIMOP is verified by the ETV, the European program in charge of controlling the performance of innovative environmental technologies.

By combining natural settling with centrifugal force, Trithon® traps solid particles. Placed against the selective walls, they directed to the sludge storage compartment.

The treatment is also carried out by separating the floating matters (light liquids and solids of density <0.93).

Trithon® is composed in a concentric way :

  • an external zone separated from the treatment compartments by selective walls,

  • a 1st compartment through which the flow penetrates tangentially into the system,

  • a 2nd finishing compartment,

  • a central access tube to the sludge storage area (for control and emptying).

Trithon® is also equipped with an overflow management device which allows a partial treatment in case of high flow (between 100 and 125% of the nominal flow).

A technical platform is installed on the top of the device and allows maintenance.

SIMOP wished to have the performance of its new product verified by an independent entity in order to consolidate the results obtained on its test base. On January 10th, 2022, Trithon technology has been verified by ETV, the European program in charge of controlling the performances of innovative environmental technologies.

To expect a certification it is necessary to :

• Have an ecological and innovative technology

• Have its performance verified by an independent third party

• Determine the veracity of the claims through appropriate testing

• Establish quantifiable and measurable claims.

Trithon® obtains the following verified performances:

  • Trithon® is able to trap up to 98% of TSS in annual yields.

  • 99.9% of the floating matters of density <0.93 are trapped by Trithon®. The latter allows an excellent retention of micro-plastics.

  • Resuspension of trapped particles is so low that at peak flow rates, yields drop by only one point.

As a guarantee of performance, the ETV has validated the results claimed by Trithon®. As a guarantee of durability, this new SIMOP product has been subjected to tests simulating the reality of the field. As a guarantee of ecological innovation, SIMOP is the only one to have international recognition of its environmental technology.
