The SmartFoam IMA sensor from Hycontrol, UK is designed to detect and control a wide range of light to dense foams with a single foul-resistant probe. The Suresense+ Controller protects from overflow and blockage, prevents pollution and enables dosing of anti foam agents to reduce cost.

Foam generated in anaerobic digestion can be a costly headache for AD producers and their insurers. In this article Sam Gould, Foam Technology Specialist at level measurement pioneers Hycontrol, discusses the problems uncontrolled foam can cause and how Hycontrol’s SureSense⁺ system can address them.

Proven measurement technology leads to optimised foam control and reduced process costs Introduction. Exciting new technology developments in foam measurement and control are bringing important benefits to the waste water industry, as well as a wide range of other process industries. The accurate and reliable measurement of foam brings substantial savings to companies through the improved control of anti-foaming agents, improved process control, increased yield, reduced product loss and reduction in equipment failure.

The SmartFoam sensor from Hycontrol, UK is designed to detect and control foam in a single probe for a variety of different foam applications.

The SureSense⁺ is an advanced wall-mounted foam controller, which connects to up to three fouling protected foam sensors

Hycontrol non-contact level measurement gauges are immune to dust, vacuum, humidity, foam, and variations in pressure, dielectric and temperature.

The SureSense+ is an advanced wall-mounted foam controller, which connects to up to three sensors mounted in a single or multiple process vessel(s). This multi-probe capability allows for fully independent monitoring and dosing control of up to three tanks from a single controller, offering multi-tank users a significant cost saving.
