FF170 Foam Control Agent

SUPERIOR FOAM CONTROL, LOW SURFACE TENSION

FF170 foam control agent is a 100% active silicone polymer modified with fluoro-containing groups and is an excellent candidate to consider for difficult non-aqueous foam systems. The benefits of silicone and fluorocarbon chemistries come together in FF170 foam control agent to help provide long-lasting foam control in a variety of systems. It can be particularly effective in those found with petroleum stocks in high-pressure separators. Conventional antifoams (e.g., those based on polydimethylsiloxanes) are usually soluble and may actually cause foam stabilization rather than foam control. The chemical, petroleum and dry-cleaning industries can benefit from a more potent foam control agent, such as that found in FF170 foam control agent.

More About FF170 Foam Control Agent

With resistance to chemicals and oxidation, FF170 foam control agent may be used in extreme air conditions and high chemical reactivity. It also displays a low surface tension and can be used at very low treat rates, providing efficient foam control in situations where there are few cost-effective alternatives available. Additional typical benefits of FF170 foam control agent when used in high-pressure (gas-oil) separators include:

Excellent foam control due to their near-zero liquid carry-over and gas carry-under, which can help enable downstream compressors and secondary/tertiary separators to operate optimally
Allowing the use of smaller high-pressure separators while maintaining throughput, which can be particularly useful in space-constrained, offshore platform designs
Increasing the productivity of existing equipment without needing to install new machinery, which may reduce overall cost for the end user
Potentially reducing capital costs needed for deep-water drilling and their offshore platforms
Potentially reducing shutdown risk in deep-water offshore platforms where pressure excursions can lead to uncontrolled foaming when conventional antifoams are used
