Polymers having silicon-based backbones are silicon-based defoamers. These could be in the form of an oil- or water-based emulsion.
A hydrophobic silica is spread in a silicone oil to create the silicone compound. Emulsifiers are added to the silicone to make sure that it spreads quickly and effectively in the foaming media.
In the oil and gas sector, defoaming compositions are frequently employed to break up foam that has already developed, prevent foam from forming in the first place, or to prevent a gas from becoming entrapped in a liquid.
Defoaming is required in a number of industrial areas and is frequently a crucial element for effective operation. A chemical additive known as a defoamer, also known as an anti-foaming agent, lowers and prevents the production of foam in industrial process liquids.
Defoamer and antifoam agents are frequently used interchangeably. A semi-lethal dose of over kg of silicone oil has been demonstrated to be physiologically inert and non-toxic to both humans and animals.
Therefore, silicone defoamers can be utilized safely in the food, medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other industries when combined with appropriate non-toxic emulsifiers.
The Global oil and gas silicone defoamer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
To supply silicone solutions for foam control, Elkem Silicones has been collaborating closely with numerous Oil & Gas industries across the world.
Elkem Silicones offers a complete array of SILCOLAPSE and BLUESIL foam control solutions that span the full oil and gas processing chain, from drilling to the gas pump.
Elkem Silicones has products for precise and effective foam control, whether defoaming, antifoaming, or deaeration, thanks to years of development and experience.
A recently created powdered foam control agent called SILCOLAPSE SP ULTRA 1 is intended to avoid holes in cement and concrete drilling shafts, allow effective air discharge of drilling mud, and stop gas from escaping through the sluice.
A non-ionic aqueous emulsion with 30% dimethyl-siloxane is called SILCOLAPSE 140, and it has the benefit of having a very short defoaming time and a very long duration for preventing, controlling, and eliminating foam in aqueous medium, which is especially useful in drilling and cementing.
