Alcohol-based defoamers, like those developed from Ethanol and Isopropanol, hold immense potential in foam control within settling tanks largely due to their unique operational mechanisms.

Rapid Foam Breakdown: Alcohol-based defoamers function by reducing the surface tension of the water-foam interface. This reduction allows the defoamers to infiltrate into foam bubbles rapidly, promoting their efficient collapse.

High Volatility: Due to their high volatility, alcohol-based defoamers evaporate post-application. This evaporation ensures that the defoamer doesn’t linger within the system, eliminating the risk of residual defoamer potentially hindering the treatment processes.

Broad-Range Effectiveness: Alcohol-based defoamers exhibit versatility as they can be effective over a broad range of pH levels and temperatures. This wide-range applicability ensures their effectiveness in various treatment scenarios and parameters.
