Question

Accepted Answer

In case of foaming in absorber, the action would be to identify the cause, adjust operating conditions, and take appropriate measures to control the foam.

Identify the cause of foaming, which can be due to factors like high liquid flow rate, presence of contaminants, or chemical reactions.
Adjust operating conditions such as reducing liquid flow rate, adjusting temperature or pressure, or adding anti-foaming agents.
Take appropriate measures to control the foam, such as installing foam control devices or implementing regular maintenance and cleaning procedures.
Monitor the absorber closely to ensure that the foam is effectively controlled and does not impact the overall process efficiency.
Examples of actions could include reducing liquid flow rate, adjusting temperature or pressure, adding anti-foaming agents like silicone-based defoamers, or installing foam control devices like foam breakers or foam suppressors.
