Silicone defoamers

Foam in fermentation isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a yield-killing, contamination-risk amplifier. While generic defoamer articles abound, we cut to the core: why polyether chemistry dominates industrial fermentation, and how choosing the right formulation impacts your bottom line. Why Fermentation Foam Demands Specialized Control   Fermentation foam is stabilized by microbial b...

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...
