Solving Foam Issues in Aeration Tanks: Chemi Tech's Guide to Defoamer Addition

In a bustling industrial park in the south, the aeration tank hummed day and night, supplying vital oxygen for key processes. But recently, operator Wang noticed thick foam rising on the tank's surface, like a stubborn barrier that hindered aeration efficiency and caused slight equipment vibrations. He tried manual stirring, but it barely helped. The persistent foam disrupted production, leaving Wang anxious. Then, he recalled insights from an industry seminar: proper defoamer addition was the solution. He turned to Chemi Tech's defoamer and embarked on a journey of precise application.

Foam in aeration tanks often stems from microbial activity or chemical reactions, and if untreated, it can lead to increased energy consumption or component wear. Chemi Tech's defoamer, designed for industrial settings with an organic silicone formula, quickly penetrates foam structures for long-lasting suppression. The key to addition lies in accurate dosing and even distribution. Wang first assessed the tank volume and foam thickness, calculating a dose of 50-100 milliliters per cubic meter—too much wastes resources, too little yields poor results. Next, he installed a metering pump near the inlet pipe, ensuring the defoamer trickled into the water flow instead of pouring directly into the tank center, to avoid localized high concentrations that might disrupt water balance.

The process unfolds in three steps: Step one, pre-test with a small sample in a simulated tank to check compatibility; step two, monitor during operation, observing foam changes through a transparent window and replenishing every two hours with dynamic adjustments; step three, post-maintenance, logging data like foam reduction rates and aeration efficiency gains. Wang followed this method diligently, and within three days, the foam vanished magically, restoring smooth tank operation and eliminating vibrations. Chemi Tech's product proved efficient with low residue, safeguarding the industrial process.

This experience taught Wang a vital lesson: foam issues, though small, impact the whole system. By choosing Chemi Tech defoamer and applying scientific techniques, potential risks transform into stable advantages.
