Butaclean 4900

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: Butaclean* 4900
• Product Type: Antifoam/defoamer
• Description: A non-aqueous general purpose, 100% silicone compound antifoam/defoamer.
• Manufacturer: Water Technologies & Solutions (SUEZ)

Description and use

Butaclean 4900 is designed to prevent and dissipate foam and be effective in extractive separation processes. It is used to control foam in extraction process applications in the petrochemical industries.

Typical applications

• Butadiene extractive distillation
• Isoprene extractive distillation

Treatment

Proper treatment levels depend on site-specific foam control requirements, feed points, control methods, and the type and severity of foam.

Feeding

• Can be fed by several methods, including simple injection to an area of turbulence using a standard metering pump.
• Automatic, requirement-based/feedback control based on foam probe signals is an option.
• Site-specific control algorithms can be developed for use with SUEZ automated feed equipment.
• May be fed neat (undiluted) directly from the shipping container or storage tank.
• Can be diluted with toluene and fed from a day tank.

Storage and handling

• Storage Temperature: Store at temperatures above its freezing point of -30°F (-34°C) to maintain product integrity.
• Shelf Life: Use within one year for maximum effectiveness.
• Viscosity: 2000 cps @ 25°C. A pump capable of handling high viscosity products is required.
• Preparation: Agitation of the product prior to use is recommended.
