DEFOAMERS

De-foamers, also known as defoaming agents or antifoaming agents, are chemicals or additives used in water treatment processes to control or prevent excessive foam formation. Foam can be problematic in various industrial and water treatment applications due to its ability to hinder processes, reduce equipment efficiency, and create safety hazards. From wastewater to industrial processes, the formation of foam can cause a multitude of issues including:

• Surface foam is unsightly

• Inaccurate liquid level readings

• Overflow around equipment, leading to safety hazards

• Reduction of speed and availability of process equipment

• Introduction of air into a system where lubrication is necessary

• Reduction of pump efficiency

• Reduced capacity of pumps and storage tanks

Overall, de-foamers are essential in various industries and water treatment applications to improve efficiency, maintain product quality, and ensure safe and smooth operations by controlling foam-related challenges.
