Industrial Antifoams & Defoamers

Stop foam in its tracks

From start to finish, foam control is extremely important in the production and refining of oil and gas. From the wellhead to refining and the shipment of the finished product, it is essential to reduce or eliminate foam in your oil and gas operations. Uncontrolled foam disrupts refinery and production processes, leading to inefficiency and increased operational costs.

Antifoams and defoamers can help increase productivity and capacity and reduce production costs.

Oil and gas production

Dow antifoam and defoamer emulsions, fluids and compounds can be used in oil and gas production operations, including:

Gas-oil separation
Drilling mud
Gas dehydration
Gas scrubbing

Refinery solutions

Our solutions can also be applied in traditionally high-foam applications, such as vacuum distillation and crude distillation. Antifoams and defoamers can also be used in:

Cracking processes
Asphalt processing
Delayed cokers
Storage tank froth-overs
BTX extraction
