In battery recycling production, the wastewater treatment stage often faces the severe challenge of excessive foam. This foam not only overflows from tanks and causes environmental pollution, but also seriously affects the efficiency of downstream process units such as sedimentation, filtration, and membrane separation, leading to reduced system capacity, rising operating costs, and even equipment alarms and shutdowns. Traditional physical methods or general defoaming products often provide only short-lived results and cannot eliminate stubborn foam.
To address this industry pain point, Chemi Tech has drawn on its deep technical expertise to develop a series of high-performance defoamers specifically for battery recycling wastewater. Our solution precisely targets the unique chemical composition and process conditions of battery recycling wastewater. Its core advantages are: it can rapidly penetrate and destroy the foam liquid film for instant defoaming; it offers excellent lasting foam suppression to prevent foam regeneration; and the product is chemically stable, adapts to a wide range of pH values and temperatures, and has no negative impact on subsequent water quality indicators.
Our professional service steps are clear and efficient. First, the technical team analyzes the foam characteristics of wastewater samples from the customer's site to evaluate the cause and severity of foaming. Next, based on the analysis results, we select or customize the most suitable defoamer grade from our product portfolio. Then, we provide detailed guidance on addition point, dosage, and method to ensure the defoamer delivers maximum effectiveness at key stages. We also provide continuous follow-up services, optimizing the solution according to system changes to ensure lasting foam control.
For example, an enterprise specializing in new energy material recycling encountered severe foam in the wastewater pretreatment of its hydrometallurgy section, causing the centrifuge to malfunction. After adopting the customized defoamer solution recommended by Chemi Tech, added at an extremely low ratio at the reaction tank outlet, the foam was quickly eliminated within minutes, centrifuge separation efficiency recovered to over 95%, system operation returned to stability, and wastewater treatment throughput improved significantly. The customer highly praised the stability of the treatment results.
Choosing Chemi Tech means not just choosing a product, but a reliable solution to end foam problems. We are committed to helping battery recycling enterprises overcome wastewater treatment bottlenecks through professional technology and service, achieving more efficient and economical clean production.
