How to add defoamer in the production and when add?


Defoamer-the main function is to eliminate foam to inhibit foam regeneration. Defoamer can be widely used in all walks of life, but the body is small but the effect is fine. However, for those who do not know much about it and the first use of defoamers, there is a problem that bothers them, and when is the defoamer added? Is it added before use or when it comes to foam? Ok, Now Let's learn when and how to add defoamer.

(The picture shows a serious foaming site)

Most workers who use defoamers add defoamers when they produce foam. In fact, not only can you join when you are bubbling! We will use silicone defoamers as an example. Silicone defoamers have four conventional methods of addition:
1. Adding before foaming: This method can suppress the production of foam by previously adding an antifoaming agent to a system which may generate foam. For closed containers and devices, defoamers are effective in eliminating foam.
2. Continuous dropwise addition: When the foaming liquid is circulated or flows, the defoaming agent will be consumed along with the circulating flow of the foaming liquid, in which case the continuous defoaming agent is used. The defoaming agent can effectively exert the effect of eliminating the foam, and if it is supplemented by the metering pump, the dosage can be effectively controlled to achieve the most economical use of the defoaming agent (this method is suitable for mass production foaming).
3. Self-controlled addition: Any foaming liquid does not necessarily foam from beginning to end. When there is foaming, the amount of foam does not have an accurate pattern. The defoamer is added to supplement the consumption, and it is not necessary to add it when it is not foaming. Therefore, a self-controlled addition method can be adopted to automatically add an antifoaming agent according to the foaming aura.
4. Gap addition: If it is not continuous foaming, and the foaming is not serious, the defoaming agent may be added once or periodically. Since the amount of the antifoaming agent added is small, in order to make the antifoaming agent uniformly dispersed, it should be added in a place where the foaming liquid is drastically shaken. Many occasions can be added by hand. If the blister is violent or for rapid defoaming, it can be sprayed with a spray gun.
After reading the above points, is there a certain understanding of when to add defoamer? Defoamers are not necessarily added at the time of foaming. We can add them before foaming to prevent foaming. We can also add defoamer according to the harbinger of foaming... Today’s knowledge sharing is here, and we will recognize new knowledge for everyone next time.

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ?

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ? Quality of an antifoam is given by two main characteristics : • Knockdown ability or shock effect :Meaning the speed to destroy an existing foam. • Persistence or durability : Meaning the efficiency over time.   These two parameters can be assessed by several tests. The main test is the bubbling method. A graduated column with a glass frit in the bottom is required. Foaming water is poured in the column and air at constant flowrate is introduced through the glass frit in the column. Foam is generated by the air and starts to travel up the column. At a determined level of foam, antifoam is injected. By this method several antifoaming agents can be tested. A graph reporting foam height vs time is very helpful to establish the knockdown ability and the persistence for each product. The selected antifoam is the product with the best compromise between shock effect and durability       Environmental performance   Silicone antifo...

Defoamer Test Method

Defoamer testing methods are divided into dynamic defoaming and static defoaming tests. If your foaming environment is different, the recommended test methods are different. There are three main types of foam experiments to characterize the activity of defoamers. Persistence. As we have different experimental conditions in different laboratories and the experiments used in our research to obtain results from existing literature, we will introduce these experiments below. Other methods are sometimes used depending on the particular application. 1. Ross-Miles Foam Tester   Features: Tested for strong foaming environments. This experiment is widely used for characterization        (1) Foaming of surfactant solution        (2) Research and application of foam stability in the presence of defoamer In the foaming system, the defoaming performance test was carried out by circulating bubbling by a Ros...

Silicone oil is so widely used! Let’s learn silicone oil production technology

Silicone is so widely used! Let's learn silicone oil production technology Silicone oil is a kind of linear small molecule silicone polymer with Si-O-Si as the main chain and organic groups in the side chain. It is widely used in textile, daily chemical, mechanical processing, chemical, electrical and electronic, medical and health, etc. industry. Silicon oil is usually kept in a liquid state at room temperature. As the molecular weight increases, the viscosity also increases, so viscosity is an important physical property index of silicone oil. 2017 China's silicone oil consumption situation Classification of silicone oil Silicone oil is generally divided into two categories: general silicone oil and modified silicone oil. There is also a class of co-modified silicone oils and derivatives - ternary modified silicone oil Silicone oil properties Silicone oil is generally a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-volatile liquid with the following characteristics...
