Monera - Model MICROCAT DF -Biocompatible Defoamer for Wastewater Plants
MICROCAT-DF Biocompatible Defoamer is a synthetic biocompatible liquid for controlling biologically generated foams in wastewater plants. It is formulated for aeration tanks and sludge digesters to suppress foam without inhibition of the biomass and other negative side effects associated with conventional defoamers. MICROCAT — DF does not contain silicones, mineral oil, nitrogen or phosphorus compounds. As such it is compatible with the use of MICROCAT microbial - enzyme formulations.
At times anaerobic and aerobic microbial metabolism can result in persistent foams resulting from:
- Filamentous infestation (e.g. Nocardia (Gordonia) sp. and Microthrix sp.)
- Rapid temperature or pH changes
- Wastewater composition changes and shock loadings
- Plant startups and restarts
Some foams can at times attain a "structural" character. MICROCAT-DF can help, especially when used in conjunction with MICROCAT - XF Filament Controller or other MICROCAT products for controlling incoming greases and fats in the collection system.
