A layer of liquid, the digester overflow or supernatant forms above the solids, and this layer has only a small amount of suspended solids. (...) In all probability a scum layer consisting of hair, match sticks, undigested grease and other material will form at the top. This scum layer is very objectionable (...) 1, record 1, English, - scum%20layer
