For many applications and industries, foam is a big problem. 
Excessive foaming can cause the container to overflow, interfere with the process and packaging, and damage materials or equipment.

Such as agrochemical production, bioethanol production, chemical manufacturing, construction products, food and beverage, personal care, household cleaners and detergents, metalworking fluids, oil and gas production, paint, coating and ink formulations, pulp and paper, Textiles, water treatment, etc.

The methods for controlling foam include physical and chemical methods.
Changing the temperature, filtering and removing floating substances, making the container open, removing mechanical foaming factors (avoid strong boiling, shaking, decompression, and splashing), and removing bubbles that are easy to foam The solute, etc. is the physical method.

Adding a foam suppressant, feeding defoamer, removing foaming substances by adsorption, precipitation, and chemical reactions, adjusting the pH and HLB values, and adding substances that can eliminate foam stability are chemical methods.
