Product Description:

IBI’s Eco-Friendly Defoamer is a scientifically formulated anti-foaming solution designed for use in fermentation processes involving molasses and grain-based substrates. Unlike conventional defoamers, which often contain impurities and lack a sound technical basis, IBI’s defoamer offers a clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible solution that significantly improves alcohol recovery and reduces operational waste.

Fermentation foaming is a common issue that not only hampers process efficiency but also leads to excessive consumption of defoamers, increased BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) levels, and a higher microbial load. IBI’s advanced formulation addresses the root causes of foaming while minimizing negative side effects.


Key Advantages:

  • Efficient Foam Control: Effectively breaks and prevents foam formation during molasses and grain fermentation.

  • Eco-Friendly Composition: Free from harmful by-products that typically arise from sulphated castor oil (TRO).

  • Improved Alcohol Recovery: Reduces sugar loss due to foam overflow and microbial contamination.

  • Reduces BOD & COD: Minimizes environmental impact by lowering waste discharge values.

  • Non-Corrosive & Equipment Friendly: Does not form corrosive or slime-inducing by-products.

  • Stable Under Variable Conditions: Performs reliably across a wide range of input solids and temperature variations.


Conventional Alternatives and Their Drawbacks:

Traditional defoamers such as Turkey Red Oil (TRO)—made by sulfating castor oil—often introduce numerous impurities like:

  • Fatty acids (e.g., ricinoleic acid)

  • Sodium soaps

  • Unreacted triglycerides

  • Glycerol, mono/di-glycerides

  • Sulfated and sulfonated derivatives

These side products are non-biodegradable, increase microbial growth, and negatively affect fermentation efficiency, leading to reduced alcohol yield and increased pollution parameters.


Conclusion:

IBI’s modern eco-friendly defoamer offers a technologically advanced and sustainable alternative to conventional products. It ensures cleaner operations, better alcohol recovery, and compliance with global environmental standards.
