Antifoam Defoamer Elite M8 can be used to control foaming in all types of seawater distillation plant and is particularly suitable for use in multi-stage flash plants. Antifoam Defoamer Elite M8 is a formulated product containing ethylene oxide / propylene oxide block copolymer. As such it is not soluble in water but readily forms a stable emulsion at concentrations up to 1% w/w in distillate. Antifoam Defoamer Elite M8 is typically dosed as a 1% w/w emulsion in distillate prepared as follows:

• Add 50% - 70% of required distillate volume into dosing tank;
• Start the dosing tank agitator/mixer;
• Add the required Antifoam Defoamer Elite M8 volume into the dosing tank;
• Add the remaining volume of distillate to give the required concentration of Antifoam Defoamer Elite M8 solution;
• Continue agitation for a further 10 - 15 minutes;
• The resulting emulsion will be stable and will not normally separate
