Dosage of defoamer

A defoamer or an anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. The terms anti-foam agent and defoamer are often used interchangeably.

In industrial processes, foams pose serious problems. They cause defects on surface coatings. They prevent the efficient filling of containers. A variety of chemical formulas are available to prevent formation of foams.^[1]

Properties

Generally a defoamer is insoluble in the foaming medium and has surface active properties. An essential feature of a defoamer product is a low viscosity and a facility to spread rapidly on foamy surfaces. It has affinity to the air-liquid surface where it destabilizes the foam lamellas. This causes rupture of the air bubbles and breakdown of surface foam. Entrained air bubbles are agglomerated, and the larger bubbles rise to the surface of the bulk liquid more quickly.^[2]

History

The first defoamers were aimed at breaking down visible foam at the surface. Kerosene, fuel oil and other light oil products were used to break down foam. Other vegetable oils also found some use. Fatty alcohols (C7 - C22) were effective but expensive antifoams. They were added to oil products to boost the efficiency. Milk and cream were forbears for modern day emulsion type defoamers.^[3]

During the 1950s experiments with silicone based defoamers started. These were based on polydimethylsiloxane (silicone oil) dispersed in water or light oil. Silicone oils worked well, but caused surface disturbances in many applications like paints and papermaking. In 1963 the first antifoams with hydrophobic particles (hydrophobic silica) in light oil were patented. In the early 1970s, hydrophobic waxes like ethylene bis stearamide dispersed in oils developed. These types of defoamers were very efficient, but the oil crisis of 1973 made these too expensive and resulted in a push for reduction of the oil content. The solution was adding water. So water extended (water in oil emulsion) and water based (oil in water emulsion) defoamers appeared.^[4]

The development of silicone based defoamers has continued, using different emulsifiers and modified silicone oils. In the early 1990s, silicone emulsion defoamers that caused less surface disturbances were used in the wood pulping industry with great success. These caused better washing, reduced biological oxygen demand (BOD) in effluent and reduced deposits.

Classification

Oil based defoamers

Oil based defoamers have an oil carrier. The oil might be mineral oil, vegetable oil, white oil or any other oil that is insoluble in the foaming medium, except silicone oil. An oil based defoamer also contains a wax and/or hydrophobic silica to boost the performance. Typical waxes are ethylene bis stearamide (EBS), paraffin waxes, ester waxes and fatty alcohol waxes. These products might also have surfactants to improve emulsification and spreading in the foaming medium.

These are heavy duty defoamers and are normally best at knocking down surface foam.

Powder defoamers

Powder defoamers are in principle oil based defoamers on a particulate carrier like silica. These are added to powdered products like cement, plaster and detergents.

Water based defoamers

Water based defoamers are different types of oils and waxes dispersed in a water base. The oils are often white oils or vegetable oils and the waxes are long chain fatty alcohol, fatty acid soaps or esters. These are normally best as deaerators, which means they are best at releasing entrained air.

Silicone based defoamers

Silicone-based defoamers are polymers with silicon backbones. These might be delivered as an oil or a water based emulsion. The silicone compound consists of an hydrophobic silica dispersed in a silicone oil. Emulsifiers are added to ensure that the silicone spreads fast and well in the foaming medium. The silicone compound might also contain silicone glycols and other modified silicone fluids.^[5]

These are also heavy duty defoamers and are good at both knocking down surface foam and releasing entrained air.

Polydimethylsiloxane is a widely used antifoaming agent.

Silicone based defoamers are also suitable in non-aqueous foaming systems like crude oil and oil refining. For very demanding applications fluorosilicones may be suitable.

EO/PO based defoamers

EO/PO based defoamers contain polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol copolymers. They are delivered as oils, water solutions, or water based emulsions. EO/PO copolymers normally have good dispersing properties and are often well suited when deposit problems are an issue.

Alkyl polyacrylates

Alkyl polyacrylates are suitable for use as defoamers in non-aqueous systems where air release is more important than the breakdown of surface foam. These defoamers are often delivered in a solvent carrier like petroleum distillates.

Industrial problems

The most noticeable form of foam is foam floating on the stock surface. It is easy to monitor and relatively easy to handle. Surface foam may cause problems with liquid levels and give overflow. This might reduce the process speed and availability of process equipment.

Mechanical problem factors

Mechanical factors that may generate foam and entrapped air:

Leaky seals on pumps
High pressure pumps
Poor system design (tank, pump inlet, outlet and manifold design)
Pressure release

The main classes of air that are of concern to the mechanical systems are

Dissolved air behaves as part of the fluid phase, except that it can come out of solution as small bubbles (entrained air)
Entrained air consists of bubbles that are small enough to collect on top of a fluid
Bubbles that have sufficient buoyancy to rise to the surface and are described as foam

Foam in process and coolant liquids

Foam, entrained and dissolved air that are present in coolants and processing liquids, may cause various kinds of problems, including:

Reduction of pump efficiency (cavitation)
Reduced capacity of pumps and storage tanks
Bacterial growth
Dirt flotation / Deposit formation
Reduced effectiveness of the fluid solution(s)
Eventual downtime to clean tanks
Drainage problems in sieves and filters
Formation problems (i.e. in a paper mill it may cause the fibers to form an inhomogeneous sheet)
Cost of replenishing the liquid
Cost of entire material rejection due to imperfections

Test methods

There are several ways to test defoamers.

The easiest is looking at the surface foam. All that is needed is a system for generating foam. This might be done with a round pumping system with a nozzle and a cylinder or an air injection system into a cylinder. The cylinder is fitted with a scale to measure the foam height. This equipment may have a heater to control the temperature.

Entrained air can be tested with a similar equipment that have a density meter that can record changes of the liquor density over time.

Drainage can be tested with a filter system for measuring the time to drain a liquid through the filter. The filter might be pressurized or have a vacuum.

Applications

Detergents

Anti-foams are added in certain types of detergents to reduce foaming that might decrease the action of the detergent. For example dishwasher detergents have to be low foaming for the dishwasher to work properly.

Food

When used as an ingredient in food, antifoaming agents are intended to curb effusion or effervescence in preparation or serving.^{[citation needed]} The agents are included in a variety of foods such as chicken nuggets in the form of polydimethylsiloxane (a type of silicone).^[6]^[7]

Silicone oil is also added to cooking oil to prevent foaming in deep-frying.^{[citation needed]}

Industrial use

Defoamers are used in many industrial processes and products: wood pulp, paper, paint, industrial wastewater treatment, food processing, oil drilling, machine tool industry, oils cutting tools, hydraulics, etc.

Pharmaceuticals

Antifoaming agents are also sold commercially to relieve bloating. A familiar example is the drug Simethicone, which is the active ingredient in drugs such as Maalox, Mylanta, and Gas-X.^{[citation needed]}
