Summary
Product Identification
- Product Name: Butaclean* 4903
- Product Type: Antifoam/Defoamer (Silicone Emulsion)
- Manufacturer: Water Technologies & Solutions (SUEZ)
Description and Use
Butaclean 4903 is a general-purpose, silicone emulsion antifoam/defoamer designed to prevent and control foaming in aqueous process applications within the petrochemical industry. It is effective over a broad range of pH and ionic strength.
Typical Applications
This product is specifically designed for application in butadiene extractive distillation units.
Treatment
Proper treatment levels depend on site-specific foam control requirements, feed points, control methods, and the type and severity of foam. SUEZ representatives can recommend specific treatment rates and control procedures.
Feeding
- Can be fed neat (undiluted) directly from the shipping container or storage tank.
- Dispersible in water, allowing for dilution and feeding from a day tank.
- Feeding can range from simple metering pump application to areas of turbulence, to automatic, requirement-based feedback control using foam probe signals.
- Site-specific control algorithms can be developed for use with SUEZ automated feed equipment.
- DO NOT MIX with other process chemicals unless compatibility has been checked and approved by SUEZ Product Management.
Storage and Handling
- Store at a temperature above its freezing point of 0°C (32°F) to maintain homogeneity.
- For maximum capacity, use within one year.
- If frozen, remix after thawing.
Evaluation
Conscientious monitoring of treatment programs is necessary for best performance. SUEZ treatment specialists will provide ongoing recommendations based on data evaluation.
Safety Precautions / Typical Properties
