Abstract:
Apparatus for breaking foam on the surface of a liquid, such as in a sewage aeration tank is disclosed. A rotating cylindrical brush is mounted in a housing at the water surface with the brush rotation bringing foam under an edge of the housing into contact with the brush and with the brush fingers splitting the bubbles and compressing the resultant liquid into the water. The apparatus includes floats for supporting the housing and brush and a pivoting frame for supporting the housing and brush in position in the tank.
