In the pulp and paper industry, wastewater treatment is a critical step not only for environmental compliance but also for maintaining smooth and efficient plant operations. During the treatment of effluent streams rich in surfactants, lignin derivatives, and biological materials, excessive foam often forms—leading to issues such as overflow, reduced treatment efficiency, equipment damage, and reg...
Pulp and paper production is a water-intensive industry that generates large volumes of wastewater rich in organic material, fibers, and chemical additives. One of the persistent challenges in treating this wastewater is foam generation, which can disrupt processes, reduce treatment efficiency, and damage equipment. Uncontrolled foam not only hinders aeration and settling but also leads to increas...
