Similar experience - 1970 - Pigment production recipe called for one quart of Triton X-100 per pigment batch to keep finely ground pigment particles from re-agglomerating.  We think the operator took 5 gallons from a drum, poured the quart into the mix, and dumped the other 4 3/4 gallons down the drain.  Overfoamed our waste treatment plant, and then the very stable foam lifted sewer manhole covers a mile from the plant.  Nice to have red foam, green foam, and blue foam at various points going away from our plant. 

Think that Triton X-100 had uses in IR fusing fluid and maybe soldering flux in the dinosaur age of circuit board production.

Water-soluble soldering oils at 5% solution can act similarly! I 
emember a PCB manufacturer client who had just switched to one, umpteen 
ears ago, for tin-lead plating reflow, and they had a complaint from 
he local sewage works, about 1 km away. Foam was coming out of an 
gg-section sewer in an almost rigid extrusion! They sent two men with 
reathing apparatus up the sewer to find out where the hell it was 
oming from!

 Hi folks! I know this is going to sound weird but I am looking for some
 assistance in finding out the product name(s) for the fire fighting foam
 that is used in aircraft hangers. The foam appears like soap suds and can
 fill an aircraft hanger very fast. Please send me the product name or a
 possible contact I could call to talk to about fire fighting foam.

 Thanks in advance
