Foam, scum, and biological mats are a constant headache in water and wastewater treatment. Filamentous organisms such as Nocardia, combined with grease, oils, and surfactants, trap air and build thick foam blankets across aeration basins, clarifiers, digesters, and channels. Left unchecked, foam climbs over walkways, creates slip and biological-exposure hazards, drives odor complaints, and carries solids over weirs and out of compliance. GillTeq foam control systems break up and suppress that foam automatically — using nothing but a precisely aimed spray of plant water. No chemicals, no daily hose-downs, and no operators working at the edge of an open tank.
The Eco-Blaster is GillTeq’s flagship foam control system — a self-propelled, rotating spray apparatus that floats on the liquid surface or mounts to existing structure and sweeps the entire basin. By gimballing the nozzles, GillTeq controls the thrust vector and rotational speed so each pass delivers maximum impingement energy to the foam layer. As foam is knocked down, surface tension drops and the surrounding material flows into the suppression zone, re-incorporating solids back into solution instead of letting them blanket the surface. Built from advanced materials such as carbon-fiber tubing, the Eco-Blaster runs for years in harsh process environments. Explore the Eco-Blaster »
Foam and floating material can form anywhere the process holds a liquid surface. GillTeq foam control systems can be rigidly mounted or attached to a buoyant platform that rises and falls with the liquid level, maintaining suppression through every phase of the process.
Operators most often battle foam, scum, and surface buildup in process structures such as:
Every GillTeq system is engineered for the specific structure and foam problem it has to solve. Any surface that accumulates foam, scum, or debris — accessible or not — can be automatically broken up, re-incorporated into solution, and kept clear with only periodic operation. A few common applications:
Screen cleaning is one of the most difficult applications for operators to clean and prevent material buildup. The Eco-Blaster, BCS is an economical and very effective cleaner in these challenging locations. Solid stream nozzles allow for an extremely high impingement force on the screen surface, keeping the screen passages free and clear with only periodic use depending upon each application. Belt press fabrics are cleaned better and more efficiently using rotating solid stream nozzles.
Headworks, splitter boxes, and any other surface where materials accumulate can be maintained free of debris build up with the Eco-Blaster, BCS. Heavy accumulations of material will be driven back into solution and then with periodic operation the area is maintained automatically. As the top layer of material is broken up by the cutting power of solid stream nozzles, the lower material rises and is driven into solution or prevented from settling.
Sequential Batch Reactors have various locations that accumulate foreign materials. Foam and scum tend to collect in the pre-aeration zones while algae growth can become a problem in the EQ basin. The Eco-Blaster, BCS versatile mounting configurations address these concerns. A buoyant mounting system will allow the Eco-Blaster, BCS to rise and lower with the liquid level to maintain control.
Clarifiers accumulate foreign material in various areas. Material can become trapped in the center feed well causing odor issues. Eco-Blaster, BCS drives the accumulated material back into solution with periodic operation. Full surface suppression is necessary in many applications due to system upsets throughout the process stream. Each Eco-Blaster, BCS can operate independently and can be used when necessary. Multiple combinations of spray configurations are used to address numerous types of accumulated material.
