Foam Trap

Foam Trap Function and Working Method

The Foam Trap operates by collecting the foam that forms on the surface of crude glycerin. The foam, which is less dense than the glycerin, is separated and removed from the system. This process prevents the foam from being carried over into subsequent processing stages, where it could potentially cause operational issues or affect the quality of the final product.

Foam Trap Material and Construction

Constructed from 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel, the Foam Trap combines excellent corrosion resistance with durability. This material choice ensures that the Foam Trap can withstand the conditions typically encountered in crude glycerin processing, including exposure to steam and varying temperatures.
