Defoamers in Water Treatment: Enhancing Efficiency and System Stability

May 30, 2025

Foam is a common challenge in industrial water treatment processes, whether in cooling systems, biological treatment, reverse osmosis, or chemical processing. Excessive foam not only leads to operational inefficiencies but can also disrupt process control, reduce tank capacity, and damage equipment. As industries seek more efficient and sustainable water treatment solutions, the role of high-performance defoamers becomes increasingly important.



Defoamers, also known as antifoaming agents, are designed to eliminate and prevent the formation of foam. In water treatment applications, they work by breaking the surface tension of foam bubbles, enabling faster collapse and improved clarity. Choosing the right defoamer helps operators maintain optimal system throughput, avoid overflow risks, and reduce energy consumption in downstream treatment.

Rickman defoamers are specially formulated for diverse water treatment environments, offering effective foam suppression across a wide pH range and varying temperatures. Their low dosage requirements and fast-acting properties make them ideal for biological systems, membrane treatment, and high-pressure industrial processes. With both silicone and non-silicone options available, Rickman’s product line meets the diverse needs of global customers.

What sets Rickman apart is not just the quality of its defoamers, but the reliability of its service. From technical consultation and on-site testing to customized formulation and timely logistics, Rickman works closely with customers to solve foam-related challenges efficiently. With over a decade of experience and a strong R&D foundation, Rickman is committed to delivering sustainable foam control solutions that improve system performance and environmental compliance.
