Defoamer for Biological Fermentation

Causes of Foam

During fermentation, microorganisms metabolize under suitable temperature, pH, nutrients, and oxygen levels, producing gases like CO₂, H₂, O₂, and CH₄. If these gases are not released promptly, foam forms as they escape from the liquid.

Foam Hazards

  1. Reduced production efficiency: Foam disrupts mass transfer, heat exchange, and mixing, causing liquid level drops, higher energy consumption, and lower efficiency—raising production costs.
  2. Leakage risk: Excess foam may cause liquid overflow, posing safety risks to workers.
  3. Environmental pollution: Foam overflow can contaminate the workplace, especially if it contains toxic, flammable, or explosive substances.
  4. Lower product quality: Foam may mix into the final product, reducing its quality.
