Defoaming & Antifoaming Chemicals from Innova Corporate offer specialized solutions for Ahmedabad's most challenging foam problems, including high-surfactant industrial wastewaters, proteinaceous foams in tanneries/dairy, stable foams in textile processing, and foaming in chemical reactors. Our products are categorized into: Instant defoamers (knock down existing foam quickly – typically oil-based or silicone emulsions with high spreading coefficient) and antifoams (prevent foam formation before it starts – often added continuously to the process). For Ahmedabad's textile processing units – where desizing, scouring, and dyeing baths contain high levels of surfactants (non-ionic, anionic) and high shear – foam can overflow machines and cause uneven fabric treatment. Our non-silicone, non-oil polyether defoamers (EO/PO block copolymers) are designed to be effective under high shear and at high temperatures (up to 130°C) without leaving spots on fabric. For dairy ETPs (Ahmedabad has several milk chilling centers and processing plants), foam from proteins, fats, and sugars during aeration is controlled with water-based polyglycol defoamers that are FDA-approved and biodegradable. For chemical plants (especially those with stirred reactors and distillation columns), we supply concentrated (95-100%) silicone antifoams that are added directly to the process; they are effective at very low levels (0.5-10 ppm). For effluent treatment plants (ETPs) and common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) in Vatva, Naroda, and Odhav, biological foam (caused by filamentous bacteria like Nocardia, Microthrix) is a chronic issue. We provide specialty antifoams that are non-toxic to biomass and can be used as a temporary control measure while the root cause (FOG, high sludge age) is addressed. For paint and coating manufacturing (Ahmedabad's decorative and industrial paint units), we supply silicone-free defoamers that don't cause cratering or fish eyes. For food-grade applications (Ahmedabad's sweets, pickles, soft drinks, edible oil processing), our vegetable oil-based defoamers (with or without silica) meet FSSAI and FDA standards. All products are supplied with droplet size analysis (D90 <10 µm for emulsion stability) to ensure long shelf life and effectiveness. Application methods: direct addition (neat), continuous drip using a peristaltic pump, or spray onto foam surface. Technical support includes foam tendency tests (Ross-Miles method, dynamic foam analyzer) and optimization for Ahmedabad's hard water (which can affect emulsion stability). Available in 5L, 25L, 200L drums, and 1000L IBC. For large CETPs (10+ MLD), we supply in bulk tankers (5-20 tons) and provide automated defoamer spray systems with foam sensors.
Innova produces silicone, synthetic and ester based products for use in a wide range of fermentation processes. Whether your process is aerobic or anaerobic or whether your media is fungal or bacterial. Whether you are working at the laboratory scale or large industries in Ahmedabad; we have the defoamer to fit your process. Innova fermentation defoamers are non-toxic to fermentation media and do not inhibit oxygen transfer.
Fermentation Industries Served in Ahmedabad: Enzyme, Amino Acids, Lysine, Citric Acid, Yeast, Ethanol & Gums. We perform defoamer testing using multiple apparatus to simulate the causes of foam in your specific system. Through recirculation, diffused air flow, mechanical agitation or chemical reaction we generate foam in our test equipment. Once we establish the most applicable test method and sample point in your Ahmedabad system, we screen products for 'knock down' "how quickly foam is dismantled" and 'suppression' "how long before foam returns". The optimum products excel in both functions. Our thorough defoamer testing process allows us to create the best possible custom product for your system.
