Butaclean 4905

Summary

Product identification

Butaclean* 4905 is a 100% active anti-foam/defoamer fluid, non-silicon based product.

Description and use

Butaclean 4905 is designed specifically to control foaming over a wide pH range in the recovery stripper of synthetic rubber (SBR and NBR) manufacturing plants. It is effective in controlling foaming and emulsification caused by liquid hydrocarbons.

Typical applications

• Control foaming in various petrochemical plants
• Improve foam control, raising unit capacity limits
• Enhance production
• Increase tower efficiencies
• Stabilize unit operation

Feeding

• Butaclean 4905 can be injected as a defoamer on an “as needed” basis, or continuously at a reduced rate as an antifoaming agent.
• The injection point must be located upstream of the area needing protection.
• Feed neat directly from the shipping container, or storage tank.
• Viscosity at 21.1°C (70°F) is 325 cps.
• Viscosity at 4.4°C (40°F) is 800 cps.
• Heat tracing and insulating the feed system are recommended if exposed to extreme low temperatures.
• Freeze point is -26°C (-15°F).
• DO NOT MIX with other process chemicals unless compatibility has been checked and approved by SUEZ Product Management.

Evaluation

For best unit performance, the SUEZ program must be conscientiously monitored by periodic evaluation of system control parameters such as pH, operating rates, pressure drops, and temperatures.
