DESCRIPTION AND USE
FoamTrol AF1440 is a broad-based, multicompo-nent, oil-based antifoam/defoamer designed to con-trol foam in industrial wastewater treatment and detergent-based foaming systems. It has been suc-cessfully applied to eliminate foaming in wastewater associated with petroleum refineries, chemical plants, power plants, pulp and paper mills, metals manufacturing, and other facilities.
This product can be applied to biological wastewater treatment systems as well as cooling towers and other systems where foam causes safety, processing, or nuisance concerns.
TREATMENT AND FEEDING REQUIREMENTS
Proper treatment levels for FoamTrol AF1440 depend on site-specific foam control requirements as well as feed points,control methods, and type and severity of foam.
Several levels of sophistication in feeding product are available. In wastewater systems, simply applying product to one spot in a large basin is often sufficient because of the high spreadability of the product over the surface of water. Simple feed of antifoam using a standard metering pump is often sufficient. Automatic, requirement-based feedback control based on foam probe signals is available. Where a higher degree of customization is required, site-specific control algorithms are easily developed for use with GE Betz automated feed equipment.
FoamTrol AF1440 should be fed neat (undiluted) directly from the shipping container or storage tank.
FoamTrol AF1440 is compatible with carbon steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel, polypropylene, TeflonTM, and other materials. Consult your GE Betz represen-tative for more information on the selection of tanks, pumps, piping, fittings, and foam probes.
