ABSTRACT:
The use of a probe for the control of foam build up in a fermenter, which probe comprises a guard electrode (13), first and second insulators (14 and 15) separated by the guard electrode, a detecting electrode (12) separated from the guard electrode by the first insulator, and a plug (18) and socket (17) for connecting the probe to a power source, the second insulator being provided with fermenter mounting means in the form of a flange (16), a sensor comprising the aforementioned probe for use with an antifoam supply regulator, a foam control system and a method of controlling the build up of foam in a fermentation vessel.
