Chemi Tech Defoamer for Wastewater: Usage Guide & Dosage Optimization

Excessive foam in industrial wastewater treatment can reduce equipment efficiency and increase operational costs. Chemi Tech defoamers offer rapid foam collapse and long-lasting suppression. This article provides data-driven guidelines for optimal performance.  

Key Advantages of Chemi Tech Defoamer  

1. Broad Compatibility: Works on municipal, textile, and food processing wastewater.  

2. Eco-Friendly Formula: Silicone-free, biodegradable, compliant with EPA standards.  

3. Thermal Stability: Maintains effectiveness in high-temperature/pH environments.  

Application Methods  

1. Direct Dosing:  

- Add near foam sources (aeration tanks, bioreactors) via drip or spray.  

- Initial dosage: 0.05%-0.3% by volume, adjustable based on foam severity.  

2. Dilution Protocol:  

- Dilute 5-10X for severe foam scenarios to improve dispersion.  

3. Precautions:  

- Avoid mixing with strong oxidizers;  

- Store in cool conditions (24-month shelf life).  

Dosage Optimization  

- Lab Testing: Conduct jar tests with 0.1%-0.3% gradients to determine cost-effective ratios.  

- Real-Time Adjustment: Increase dosage during summer when foam tends to escalate.  

Case Study: A paper mill reduced foam height from 30cm to <5cm within 10 minutes using 0.15% Chemi Tech defoamer, improving sludge settling by 22%.
