Aquafix - Model DeFoam 3000 -Wastewater Defoamer Designed for Biological Plants

Fast-Acting, Silicone-Free Defoamer for Biological Wastewater Systems

DeFoam 3000 is a fast-acting, 100% concentrated defoamer designed for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment systems. Using a monomolecular film, it spreads across the water surface to quickly break down and disperse foam. This biologically-safe defoamer is effective in both aerobic and anaerobic wastewater systems, providing exceptional foam reduction without disrupting microbial health or settling performance.

Unlike other defoamers, which can impair biological wastewater processes and damage beneficial bacteria, DeFoam 3000 is a silicone-free defoamer made from a concentrated blend of essential oils. It contains no emulsifiers, making it safe for long-term use in activated sludge systems, clarifiers, and digesters. Just a small dose delivers large-scale results, with reapplication typically needed every 8–24 hours for continuous foam control in wastewater plants.

Operators can apply DeFoam 3000 directly to foam-prone surfaces for immediate effect, whether they are working in anaerobic digester foam control, aerobic digester foam reduction, or collapsing surfactant foam thoughout a wastewater process. For persistent issues involving foaming bacteria such as Microthrix parvicella and Nocardia, DeFoam 3000 pairs effectively with Foam Buster and Qwik-Zyme L to attack the underlying cause of foaming.

Available in multiple sizes—2.5-gallon containers, 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon totes—DeFoam 3000 is the go-to wastewater defoaming agent for operators seeking a non-emulsifying, non-silicone, and plant-safe defoamer.
