Foam and Scum Monitoring

Read visible foam and scum changes from existing camera footage.

ABYSS helps teams monitor visible foam growth, scum accumulation, surface coverage, persistence, recurrence, and overflow candidates in aeration tanks, DAF units, reaction tanks, fermentation processes, and filling lines.

Detection thresholds are validated with target-site footage. ABYSS supports first-level review and does not replace operator judgment.

Visible signals

Growth, spread, persistence, recurrence, and overflow candidates.

Target scenes

Designed for process scenes where foam or scum is visible.

Wastewater and DAF

Aeration tanks, dissolved air flotation units, clarifiers, and wastewater channels where surface state changes are visually meaningful.

Reaction and fermentation

Visible foaming, recurrence after antifoam action, and abnormal persistence can become PoC targets.

Filling and sight glass views

When bubbles, foam, or liquid surface changes are visible, ABYSS can help organize review candidates.

PoC design

Start with one foam or scum decision.

A strong PoC does not try to classify every surface condition. It defines what visual change matters, what review action follows, and which footage proves the condition is visible enough.

Review foam and scum monitoring fit in 30 minutes.

The first meeting can happen before footage sharing. We clarify the equipment, visible anomaly, current response workflow, and whether NDA-protected video validation should follow.
