Increased Usage in Wastewater Treatment Applications

Mounting global concern about water pollution and scarcity has amplified focus on wastewater treatment. Advanced treatment methodologies involving processes like coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation are increasingly being adopted worldwide to remove contaminants from industrial and municipal wastewater before recycling/reuse or safe disposal. However, these processes often lead to excessive foaming which hinders the separation of solids from liquid. Left unabated, foaming severely undermines treatment effectiveness. It is here that antifoaming agents play a vital role by controlling foam and ensuring successful sludge separation. Their usage allows for higher throughput and compliance with stringent discharge standards. With urbanization and rapid industrialization worldwide, volumes of wastewater requiring treatment have risen immensely. Also, tightening environmental regulations across many countries mandate advanced treatment of wastewater before disposal. These factors have significantly propelled the application of antifoaming chemicals in water treatment plants as well as various industrial wastewater handling.
