Gasoline may produce foam during production, storage and use. In the production process, various chemical substances are mixed and reacted in the gasoline refining process. If the stirring, flow and other operations in the process are not properly controlled, it is easy to entrain air to form foam. At this time, the application of gasoline defoamer has become an important item to solve the foam.
The addition of gasoline defoamer can effectively solve the foam problem in gasoline. Its working principle is mainly based on its special chemical structure and physical properties. Defoamer molecules usually have low surface tension and can quickly diffuse to the surface of the foam liquid film. When the defoamer molecules reach the foam liquid film, they will destroy the stability of the foam, causing the liquid film to become thinner and rupture.
Application areas of gasoline defoamer:
1. Petroleum refining industry
In refineries, gasoline defoamers are widely used in the production process of gasoline. From the primary processing of crude oil to the refining of gasoline, defoamers can ensure the quality of gasoline and the smooth production in each production link.
2. Gasoline storage and transportation
In gasoline storage tanks and transportation vehicles, the use of defoamers can reduce the generation of foam and improve the safety of storage and transportation.
3. Gasoline stations
At gas stations, gasoline defoamers help ensure the stability of gasoline during the dispensing process of the fuel gun. Preventing the generation of foam can make the refueling amount more accurate and also improve the operational safety of gas stations.
Gasoline defoamers play an irreplaceable role in all aspects related to gasoline. With the continuous growth of gasoline demand and the improvement of gasoline quality and safety requirements, the research and development and application of gasoline defoamers will continue to develop and progress.
