Knowledge base

In case the receiving body is not accessible or risky to access for the sampler, a visual estimation of the foam in the aeration basin should be done. If the foam is higher than 45 centimetres in height  (by visual estimation) then it could result in permanent foam being discharged onto the surface of receiving waters and should be reported as ‘fail’ for foam parameter.
