Selecting a Metering DESCRIPTION the proper antifoam pump. To suggest

When using silicone antifoams,
Pump for Silicone optimal performance can, in many
Antifoams circumstances, be obtained by
continuously adding small amounts of
the antifoam via a diaphragm-type
metering pump.
There are many manufacturers that
make metering equipment. Although
in no way inclusive, the list below
serves as a starting point for locating
a specific model, the manufacturer will
need to know several process parame-
ters, such as process flow rates, pres-
sures, etc. Each manufacturer should
be able to offer a pump that meets
your antifoaming needs.
