In the industries of biological fermentation, pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc., fermentation tanks are indispensable and important equipment. However, during the fermentation process, foam may be generated due to various reasons, which will have a certain impact on the fermentation process. In order to solve this problem, fermentation tank defoamers came into being.
The harm of fermentation tank foam
The generation of foam may interfere with the growth and metabolism of bacteria during the fermentation process, and may even lead to fermentation failure. In addition, excessive foam may also overflow the fermentation tank, causing waste of raw materials and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is crucial to control the foam during the fermentation process.
The role of fermentation tank defoamers
The fermentation tank defoamer is a chemical agent specially used to inhibit and eliminate the foam generated during the fermentation process. It can quickly disperse and reduce surface tension, effectively destroy the foam structure, and thus achieve the purpose of defoaming. The use of defoamers can not only improve the stability of the fermentation process, but also reduce the waste of raw materials and environmental pollution.
Selection and use of fermentation tank defoamers
When selecting a fermentation tank defoamer, its defoaming effect, stability, safety and impact on the fermentation product should be considered. At the same time, the amount of defoamer used will vary depending on different fermentation processes and equipment. When using defoamers, you should strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure safe and effective use.
IV. Precautions
- Avoid excessive use of defoamers to avoid negative effects on the fermentation process.
- Regularly evaluate the effects of defoamers to ensure their effectiveness.
- Pay attention to the storage of defoamers and avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environments.
- If there are any problems during use, contact the manufacturer in time.
In short, fermentation tank defoamers play an important role in biological fermentation, pharmaceuticals, food processing and other industries. Correct selection and use of defoamers can effectively control the foam in the fermentation process and improve production efficiency and product quality.
