Dimethylpolysiloxane is an inert polymer which is highly effective in foam suppression. Bubble collapse occurs as a result of the reduction of surface tension in the liquid film. The cost is R460 per liter

Benefits Include:

• Increased kettle utilization.
• Increased fermenter utilization.
• Preservation of foam-positive proteins.
• Increased alpha-acid utilization.
• Elimination of over-foaming problems.
• Optimized CO2 recovery.
• Enhanced vessel cleaning.

TREATMENT RATES
2-10 ml/hl
