Defoamer / Antifoaming Agent for Oilfield & Industrial Foam Control | CNPS
Defoamer / Antifoaming Agent – Efficient Foam Control for Oilfield & Industrial Systems
Product Overview
The CNPS Defoamer (Antifoaming Agent) is a high-performance chemical designed to prevent and eliminate foam formation in oilfield and industrial fluid systems. Foam can reduce process efficiency, cause pump cavitation, interfere with separation, and increase operational costs. This antifoaming agent quickly breaks existing foam and inhibits new foam formation, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. It is widely applied in crude oil production, water treatment, oil-water separation, chemical processes, and industrial cooling systems.
Key Advantages
- Rapid Foam Suppression — Instantly breaks existing foam and prevents further foam formation, stabilizing process operations.
- Broad Compatibility — Suitable for oilfield fluids, process water, cooling water, and various industrial liquids.
- Low Dosage Requirement — Highly effective at minimal concentrations, reducing chemical usage and operational costs.
- Non-Corrosive & Safe — Does not adversely affect metals, equipment, or other chemical additives.
- Easy to Apply — Can be added continuously or batch-wise, with good solubility and stable performance under field conditions.
Applications
- Oil & Gas Production – controlling foam in separators, storage tanks, and flowlines
- Water Treatment Systems – preventing foam in cooling towers, wastewater, and process water
- Crude Oil Processing – reducing foam in emulsions, separators, and pipelines
- Industrial Chemical Processes – chemical reactors, mixing tanks, and storage systems
Application Method
Added directly to fluid systems using continuous or batch dosing systems. Optimal dosage should be determined by field testing.
Recommended Dosage
Recommended dosage range: 10 – 200 ppm (recommended values, not guaranteed). The optimal dosage depends on the fluid system, foam intensity, and process conditions and should be determined by field testing before full-scale use.

🔧Compatibility / Performance
The defoamer is non-corrosive and does not adversely affect metals, equipment, or other chemical additives. It is suitable for oilfield fluids, process water, cooling water, and various industrial liquids. Compatibility with specific additive packages should be verified in the target fluid system before continuous use.
⚙️Safety & Handling
Use standard personal protective equipment (PPE). Avoid prolonged skin or eye contact. Handle in accordance with normal chemical handling practices and applicable site safety regulations.
💎Packaging & Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and maintain product integrity. Packaging configurations, container sizes, and shelf life are to be confirmed with CNPS at the time of inquiry.
