Description

DEFOAMER for oil and gas : A high-performance, non-aqueous defoamer formulated with selected hydrocarbons, and organomodified defoaming agents.

It is designed to provide instant foam knockdown and long-lasting foam suppression in severe oil & gas process conditions, including high salinity, high temperature, and high-pressure systems.

The product is particularly effective in gas-liquid separation, amine/glycol systems, produced water treatment, and drilling/completion fluid processing where persistent foam leads to capacity loss, level control issues, and carry-over problems.

  • Deaeration and transfer operations where foam is problematic

Dosage & Procedure

General-purpose antifoams have a wide range of applicability, but not all of them are suitable for use in the treatment of gas. Some foam control agents can aggravate the problem. Foam control in gas scrubbers is only one of the process parameters to be monitored. It is equally important to prevent or slow the fouling of the unit, because dismantling of the gas-scrubbing units is manually intensive. Incorrectly specified antifoams can easily lead to increased fouling and clogging, particularly in the heat exchangers. Momentive Performance Materials RXSOL antifoams are designed to provide foam control with a minimum of such problems.

Antifoam Defoamer is a cost-effective and economical defoamer designed for a wide range of food-grade and food processing applications as well as general industrial applications in paper making, textiles, paints and coatings, and anywhere foam is an issue. To determine the required amount of antifoam for your specific application, begin with 100 ppm and adjust the levels down to determine the optimum use level. For food applications, do not exceed 100 ppm. Pre-dilution provides a way to manage performance and economy for most applications. Antifoam Defoamer is very Dilution Stable to levels below 2%
