Surface Tension TestingFC Rel defoamant reduces frothing potential by reducing surface tension Lowering the surface tension helps dissipate gas bubbles which are stabilizedby filamentous growthDigested Sludgehas lower surfacetension than ASdue to thepresence ofbiosurfactants,produced inanaerobicdigestionFC Rel Defoamant
Toxicity Testing Methanogenic bacteria, key to stabilizing digestersludge, are very sensitive to inhibitory substances Ensure defoamant used is non-toxic to themethanogen population Two toxicity tests performed Anaerobic Toxicity Assay Microtox ® Toxicity Test
