DeFoam 3000
SAY NO TO SILICONE. DeFoam 3000 is a concentrated formula designed to quickly collapse non-filamentous foam by creating a monomolecular film. This silicone-free formula makes it safe and effective to use in anaerobic and aerobic wastewater processes.
Rapid Foam Reduction:Quickly deflates foam within hours after application.
Concentrated Formula: Contains no silicone or emulsifiers.
Safe for Biological Processes: Organic blend that will not alter or harm existing plant biology.

Product Details
Fast-Acting, Silicone-Free Defoamer for Biological Wastewater Systems
DeFoam 3000 is a fast-acting, 100% concentrated defoamer designed for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment systems. Using a monomolecular film, it spreads across the water surface to quickly break down and disperse foam. This biologically-safe defoamer is effective in both aerobic and anaerobic wastewater systems, providing exceptional foam reduction without disrupting microbial health or settling performance.
Unlike other defoamers, which can impair biological wastewater processes and damage beneficial bacteria, DeFoam 3000 is a silicone-free defoamer made from a concentrated blend of essential oils. It contains no emulsifiers, making it safe for long-term use in activated sludge systems, clarifiers, and digesters. Just a small dose delivers large-scale results, with reapplication typically needed every 8–24 hours for continuous foam control in wastewater plants.
Operators can apply DeFoam 3000 directly to foam-prone surfaces for immediate effect, whether they are working in anaerobic digester foam control, aerobic digester foam reduction, or collapsing surfactant foam thoughout a wastewater process. For persistent issues involving foaming bacteria such as Microthrix parvicella and Nocardia, DeFoam 3000 pairs effectively with Foam Buster and Qwik-Zyme L to attack the underlying cause of foaming.
Available in multiple sizes—2.5-gallon containers, 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon totes—DeFoam 3000 is the go-to wastewater defoaming agent for operators seeking a non-emulsifying, non-silicone, and plant-safe defoamer. Count on Aquafix for environmentally responsible, performance-driven solutions for SAVE and EFFECTIVE foam dispersion in wastewater systems and beyond.

To get rid of foaming filaments, like Microthrix and Nocardia, our Foam Buster and Qwik-Zyme L address the root cause of foaming and eliminate problematic filaments.
Gary Shock (TX) –
Worked great at breaking down and dispersing the foam very quickly. Applied directly on foam for best results just like the instructions said to.
Brandon Trevino –
Deformed worked great and fast. Applied directly on foam and watched it disappear. Will use again in future for sure.
Jakob F (WI) –
De-Foam 3000 is an amazing product. We can add a half gallon a day to keep our foam under control in bad foaming conditions. We personally have seen it drop 7 feet of foam in 15 minutes in our digester. Great product.
Erin S (WI) –
DeFoam 3000 is amazing. We would not get through without it. It immediately takes down our aerobic digester foam by feet, in minutes.
Jacob N. (ID) –
I’ve been using this defoamer for 2.5 years in 1 million gallon continuous stir manure digester and it has been working extremely well and keeping our profits up.
