Foam control in industrial processes and water systems

Foam formation can cause processing problems in many industrial processes and wastewater treatment. For most applications, light foam is not problematic, but excessive foam and/or dense foam can often lead to different processing problems. 

These problems can range from incorrect readings from control and measuring equipment (such as thermometers and level and mass flow transmitters) to poor mixing of reactants in chemical process tanks and products that get stuck in the foam and cause losses in production.
