Recently, Engineer Li from an environmental engineering company called to report that, during the treatment of pig farm wastewater, excessive foam was causing overflow and significantly increasing cleaning costs. He had tried several defoaming agents, but the results were unsatisfactory. Ultimately, he contacted a defoamer manufacturer and expressed his intention to purchase an organosilicone defoamer suitable for biological wastewater treatment.
Following a thorough discussion, the defoamer manufacturer learned that the environmental‑protection company primarily undertakes wastewater‑treatment projects for local enterprises and has successfully achieved effective treatment of its clients’ effluents through tailored wastewater‑treatment technologies. Thanks to its mature expertise and significant cost advantages, it has also cultivated a substantial base of long‑standing customers.
Recently, the company received instructions from a pig farm to treat its wastewater. During a site inspection, Engineer Li found that the wastewater primarily consisted of pig manure, solid debris, and microbial biomass. Because the effluent was untreated and lacked an organosilicone defoamer for biological treatment, significant foam formation occurred.
During wastewater treatment at pig farms, biological bacterial decomposition continuously generates foam. As the treatment progresses, the foam gradually accumulates, filling the entire aeration tank and overflowing, thereby causing pollution on-site and increasing cleaning costs. To help Engineer Li promptly address the foaming issue in wastewater treatment, the defoamer manufacturer recommended an organosilicone defoamer specifically designed for biological wastewater treatment.
The dosage of the silicone-based defoamer used in biological wastewater treatment is approximately one-tenth; it delivers rapid defoaming and prolonged foam suppression, effectively preventing cost increases caused by foam overflow.
