Aquafix - Foam Buster Supplements

Foam Buster is a highly effective, blend of nutrients engineered to eliminate foaming in wastewater treatment plants. Specially formulated for use in municipal and industrial systems, Foam Buster addresses persistent issues caused by foaming filaments such as Nocardia and Microthrix parvicella. By enriching the microbial environment with targeted nutrients, Foam Buster stimulates floc-forming bacteria that outcompete filamentous organisms, reducing foam and restoring operational efficiency.

Foam Buster delivers an immediate impact on fats, oils, and grease (FOG)—a primary food source for foam-causing filaments. Its unique blend of micronutrients accelerates the digestion of short-chain fatty acids and other by-products of grease degradation. This not only suppresses wastewater filaments, but also strengthens the biomass’s ability to degrade complex organics, leading to improved sludge characteristics and a more resilient microbial community. When paired with Qwik-Zyme L, Foam Buster provides enhanced performance against tough grease loads and filament outbreaks.

Simple and safe to use, Foam Buster can be added directly to the aeration basin once daily, with scalable dosing based on flow rates from 100,000 GPD to over 1 MGD. Within 30 days, facilities typically observe a dramatic reduction in foam, better sludge settling, and a noticeable improvement in wastewater odor and foam control. Foam Buster is available in 30 lb containers (with 1 lb packets) or 50 lb bulk options, offering flexibility for operators at any scale.

Foam Buster is a long-term solution for biological foam control, that supports a stable and healthy treatment process by promoting natural competition between beneficial microbes and problematic filaments. Trusted across the industry, Foam Buster is your frontline defense against filamentous bacteria, sludge settling issues, and unwanted biological foaming.
