Excessive foam is a common challenge in microbial fermentation, leading to reduced production efficiency, product loss, and even equipment failure. The market demands efficient and stable defoamer products that can quickly eliminate and suppress foam in complex fermentation environments without affecting microbial activity or final product quality.

To address these pain points, Chemi Tech has developed a series of defoamers specifically for microbial fermentation. These products utilize specialized silicone compounds and emulsification technology, featuring extremely low surface tension to rapidly disperse in the fermentation broth, break foam structure, and prevent regeneration. Their resistance to high temperature, acids, and bases makes them suitable for various fermentation conditions, while being non-toxic and non-interfering to microbial metabolic pathways.
The solution involves three key steps: First, determine the foaming characteristics and defoamer dosage through small-scale tests; second, add the defoamer during the early or mid-fermentation phase via continuous or batch addition, typically at 0.01%-0.1%; third, monitor foam levels in real-time and adjust process parameters for optimal defoaming.
A biotechnology enterprise faced a 15% due to uncontrolled foam in amino acid fermentation. After adopting Chemi Tech's defoamer and optimizing the addition strategy, foam was reduced by 90%, fermenter loading capacity increased by 12%, and product purity improved. The enterprise has stably used this solution for over a year.
Chemi Tech defoamers have been successfully applied in multiple fermentation projects, including enzyme preparation and organic acid production, helping customers achieve stable and efficient fermentation. We offer technical support and customization to ensure the defoaming solution perfectly matches specific processes.
