The main drawbacks of foaming are:
• Need to shut down the plant
• Drop in production capacity
• Disruption of control equipment, hence the plant operations
• Deterioration of the produced crude oil
 
Arkema offers two different product types: water-soluble products designed to fight foam in aqueous or mixed media (i.e., water-hydrocarbons) and oil-soluble products that deal with foam in hydrocarbon media. The first type is used in dehydration plants using glycol and gas scrubbing plants using alcanolamines, while the most common application for the second type is in oil-gas separators.
