Case Study: On-Site Application of RISE Defoamer in Wastewater Treatment
Background:
A wastewater treatment plant in Malaysia was struggling with excessive foam generation during its aeration process, which was hampering the plant's treatment efficiency. The excessive foam also created safety hazards for plant personnel and neighboring communities.
Solution:
After thorough analysis of the plant's process, RISE silicone wastewater treatment defoamer was recommended as a means of controlling foam. RISE silicone defoamer was chosen for its superior performance, fast knockdown time, and its effectiveness in a wide range of pH conditions.
Application:
RISE silicone wastewater treatment defoamer was applied to the aeration basin .The plant operators observed a significant reduction in foam generation within hours of application. The defoaming effect was consistent, and foam was effectively controlled throughout the treatment process.The application of RISE silicone defoamer improved treatment efficiency, and safety on the plant premises. With less foam to process, the blower energy consumption was reduced, resulting in overall cost savings for the plant.
Conclusion:
The on-site application of RISE silicone wastewater treatment defoamer proved to be a highly effective method of controlling foam in the aeration process. The superior performance, fast knockdown time, and cost-effectiveness of RISE defoamer made it the preferred choice. The plant continues to use RISE defoamer and has recommended it to other wastewater treatment facilities in the region.
