Foam in detergents—it's more than just a problem with overflowing washing machines. It can disrupt industrial cleaning, disrupt high-pressure rinses, and even reduce cleaning power. While general-purpose defoamers are available, they often introduce new challenges: spotting, separation, instability, or poor performance under harsh conditions. Why "off-the-shelf" defoamers fail ...
Defoamers, chemical additives that reduce foam stability and eliminate or inhibit foam formation, play a vital role in a variety of industries, including chemicals, food, papermaking, and textiles. They are widely used in wastewater treatment, coatings, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, and they also play a crucial role in enhancing production efficiency and product quality. Below, we will ...
During the operation of high-foaming wastewater evaporators, large amounts of stable foam are easily formed due to the presence of large amounts of surfactants, organic matter, and other foam-prone components in the wastewater. This foam can occupy the effective space within the evaporator, reducing heat transfer efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and even leading to unstable equipment ope...
