For major fluid systems, foam can be a barrier that can affect its output. Pure liquids are not prone to form foam. In an aqueous system, contaminants like proteins, surfactants, and small solid particulates are the culprit of forming foam in water. Foam can reduce the system efficiency where the formation of foam or air trapped is undesirable. To avoid the problems and streamline the

process,

there

a

chemicals.

Anti-foaming agents or defoamers are chemical additives to prevent or eliminate froth formation. From water treatment plants to food and beverage and cleaning agents, water-based defoamers improve process control, yield better results, are cost-effective, and energy-efficient.
