About Steam Additives and Anti-Foams

Steam additives and anti-foams are chemicals that prevent or break up foam in industrial processes by reducing surface tension and destabilizing foam films, thereby preventing impurities from being carried into the steam and ensuring efficient operation. They are typically insoluble, low-viscosity substances like silicone derivatives, oils, alcohols, and glycols that spread across the liquid surface to rupture air bubbles. In boilers, anti-foaming agents prevent carryover, which is the entrainment of water in the steam, while in other industries, they are used to control foam in processing liquids such as detergents, food products, and wastewater

Effective Foaming Control for Boilers

Our anti-foam steam additive swiftly mitigates foam formation in boiler operations. This enhancement leads to improved steam quality, efficiency, and reduced carryover risks. Its stable formulation is tailored for industrial environments, supporting optimal functionality in a variety of boiler water systems and diverse temperature demands up to 120C.

Safe, Stable, and Easy to Use

This defoamer is safe and non-toxic when used within the recommended dosage (520 ppm), ensuring both operational safety and environmental friendliness. Its mild odor and water solubility support seamless integration into existing treatment regimes, while compatibility with common boiler treatments simplifies process management.

FAQs of Steam Additives and Anti-Foams:

Q: How should I add the anti-foam steam additive to my boiler system?

A: Introduce the additive directly into the boiler feedwater or steam drum, ensuring an even distribution. The typical dosage ranges from 5 to 20 ppm, adjusted based on system requirements and observed foam levels.

Q: What benefits do steam additives and anti-foams offer in boiler applications?

A: They effectively suppress foam, minimize carryover, and stabilize boiler operation. This enhances steam purity, improves heat transfer, reduces maintenance, and protects system components from the damaging effects of persistent foaming.

Q: When is it appropriate to use this anti-foam steam additive?

A: Use the anti-foam during steam generation whenever foaming is evident or expected, especially during periods of high load or with water conditions prone to foam formation. Regular monitoring helps determine the optimal application frequency.

Q: What is the correct storage condition for the product?

A: Store the additive in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to maintain product integrity and ensure a shelf life of up to 12 months.

Q: Where can this steam additive be sourced from?

A: The product is available from reputable exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers in India, and is typically supplied in HDPE drums for industrial use.

Q: What makes this product compatible with boiler water treatment chemicals?

A: Its formulation is specifically designed to integrate smoothly with common boiler water treatment regimens, ensuring no adverse reactions or performance issues arise when used alongside standard industry chemicals.

Q: Is the anti-foam additive hazardous or toxic for operational use?

A: No, the additive is classified as non-toxic under recommended application conditions, making it safe for routine industrial use within the suggested dosage limits.
