High-Efficiency Defoamer for Sugar Fermentation — Chemi Tech's Dedicated Solution

In sugar fermentation processes, excessive foam formation severely impedes oxygen transfer efficiency, reducing microbial activity and production yield. Chemi Tech has developed a silicone-based composite defoamer that utilizes synergistic interactions between modified polysiloxane and reinforcing particles to rapidly disrupt foam surface tension and suppress re-foaming. Key advantages include:

Rapid Defoaming: Acts within >15 seconds under high-temperature (≤100°C) and high-shear conditions, with foam suppression lasting over 48 hours.

Process Compatibility: Operates effectively within pH 6.5–8.5 fermentation systems. A low dosage (0.01%-0.1%) ensures minimal impact on microbial activity.

Stability Assurance: 28% solid content design guarantees storage stability and resistance to dissolved oxygen fluctuations and mechanical agitation in fermenters.

Case Study: Optimization at a Sugar Refinery

A sugarcane molasses-based fuel ethanol producer faced tank overflow due to foam, reducing vessel utilization to 70%. After adopting Chemi Tech's defoamer:

Foam Control: Foam layer height decreased by 95% during aeration, increasing tank utilization to 92%.

Efficiency Gains: Stable microbial oxygen uptake shortened fermentation cycles by 12%, boosting annual capacity by 30%.

Chemi Tech's tailored defoamer formula ensures continuous and stable sugar fermentation, providing critical support for biofuel and organic acid synthesis.
