Project Description
Defoamer for Wastewater Treatment | Industrial Water Solutions
Water treatment processes often face significant foam challenges that disrupt operational boundaries, impair hydraulic drainage efficiency, and increase overall processing costs. Foam layer build-up within wastewater treatment systems, caused by high-affinity anionic surfactants, residual detergents, and organic impurities, yields poor sedimentation performance, equipment overflow damage, and stringent environmental discharge non-compliance.
To control these operational disruptions, INVINO® wastewater treatment antifoams are synthesized to regulate interfacial surface tension gradients without generating secondary chemical oxygen demand (COD) distortions. Our portfolio delivers continuous defoaming persistence across distinct aqueous sectors, including industrial circulating circuits, biological sewage basins, membrane bioreactors (MBR), landfill leachate processing cells, and thermal/RO desalination treatments.

Key Application Areas for Wastewater Defoamers
Controls surface macro-foam accumulation in cooling towers, power plant backwater networks, and high-velocity circulation loops to maintain continuous heat exchange coefficients and unhindered metering pump volumes.
Secures stable macro-bubble collapse across activated sludge basins, sequencing batch reactors (SBR), and biological tanks without altering biomass sludge sedimentation rates or causing toxicological stress to micro-organisms.
Formulated for high-salinity multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination boilers, complex vacuum filtration cells, and heavy high-charge anionic chemical effluent plants where silicone carryover limits are strictly regulated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will the defoamer affect the activity of the activated sludge (bacteria)?
A: No. Our dedicated biochemical sewage grades, such as INVINO-5023, are formulated utilizing organic non-ionic active matters that possess completely bio-inert properties. They purge air matrices cleanly without degrading the respiratory rate or cell integrity of active biological sludge micro-organisms.
Q: Does adding defoamer increase the COD or BOD values of the effluent?
A: When evaluated inside calibrated industrial addition limits (10–100 PPM standard parameters), INVINO® antifoam agents undergo standard chemical trapping and separate cleanly into dry scum layers. This isolates the active compounds from adding fractional loading weights to downstream Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) or Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) discharge indices.
Q: Is it safe for Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) systems?
A: Yes. Traditional high-affinity mineral oils or heavy silicone fluids carry tendencies to foul PVDF/PES filter walls, plugging pores and reducing flux lines. Our customized non-silicone block polyether grade INVINO-4000 dissolves into the liquid fraction cleanly without building sticky resin layers on MBR membrane filters.
Q: How long does the defoaming effect last in aeration tanks?
A: Our structural formulations are calibrated with high alkali-tolerance and mechanical shear resistance profiles. This maximizes active bubble persistence, preventing premature compound emulsification and providing continuous chemical knockdown thresholds across full 24-hour aeration loops.
Q: Where is the best injection point for the defoamer?
A: To secure rapid macroscopic active dispersion boundaries, introduce the agent compound via continuous metering directly at the entrance weir of the pump cavity, or immediately before turbulent fluid drop junctions. Avoid dumping into dead zones with stagnant fluid layouts.
