ChemFree Foam Control: An Integral Part of your Corporate Sustainability Plan
ChemFree has discovered a foam control solution that dramatically reduces chemical requirements while reducing costs and improving product safety, It’s the first foam control solution proven to enhance Corporate Sustainability initiatives. Chemfree’s patented solution recognizes that foam generation in processing facilities needs to be considered as a complete system rather than a series of isolated foaming events. This is true both for dynamic moving foam systems as well as for more confined areas, such as in holding tanks. That's why the ChemFree solution is based on the dynamic relationships among various parameters that affect your overall foam environment. Our total approach to foam control means a more sustainable future for you, your customers, and the environment.
The ChemFree 4-Step Process: A Greener Way to Reduce Defoaming Costs.
The ChemFree 4-step process is a safer, greener way to reduce your foam control management costs. There is no impact on production during the execution of our 4-Step process. The production line continues its normal operation through the entire process, from the initial analysis through the installation of the permanent system.
Step 1 - Analysis
ChemFree experts do an on-site study of the actual foam creation. This includes the observation of the entrained air dynamics, how and where the foam is being generated, the foam flow, the foam growth, and the relationship of the foaming conditions to the facility infrastructure. This study includes a review of your physical infrastructure, operations and procedures, and analysis of the types and quantities of defoamers used.
Step 2 - Design
Based on the analysis described in Step 1, ChemFree, using their patented WDT™ technology as the core, develops a comprehensive custom foam-suppression system that marries best practices and possibly some minor infrastructure modifications designed to meet the specific needs of our customer. This initial design incorporates the selection of ChemFree nozzle types, their location, orientation, and the associated mechanical linkages.
Step 3 - Evaluation System
ChemFree installs a pilot system. The only requirement of the customer is to provide a water connection. ChemFree supplies and installs all of the other hardware, which includes the water transport conduits, nozzles, orientation adapters, and all necessary attachment hardware. The pilot system is then evaluated over a mutually agreed upon trial period.
Step 4 - Installation
After the completion of trial period, the evaluation system is replaced with a custom-fabricated permanent stainless steel foam-suppression system. The result is an optimized system at significant savings using substantially less chemicals, and in some cases, no chemicals at all.

About Cost: A Solution That Actually Pays For Itself.
Pricing for each ChemFree System is based on the unique requirements of each installation, but the actual cost of ownership of a ChemFree system is the real story because the ChemFree Solution actually pays for itself over time by dramatically reducing, and in some cases totally eliminating, the need for defoaming chemicals.
The ChemFree WDT® foam elimination system not only reduces your foam control costs, it delivers total peace of mind by providing ongoing maintenance assistance at no additional cost to you. That means no more worrying about ordering, stocking and reordering defoamer.
The bottom line is a dramatic reduction or complete elimination of defoaming chemicals at significant cost savings and reduced workload.
The ChemFree WDT® foam elimination system is a revolutionary process that will begin reducing your operating costs on day one. But seeing is believing, and the first step is to arrange an on-site demo by calling 888-872-6064.
