Antifoam has to be easier and certainly cheaper than using SigmaPure, right?
Answer – WRONG! This illustrates a huge misconception surrounding the use of antifoam. Antifoam temporarily covers up the effects of foam causing contaminants. They are still in the solution, invisible, and concentrating! SigmaPure removes foaming contaminants so they can’t cause the plant to upset. A similar question would be, “An adhesive bandage has to be easier and certainly cheaper than penicillin, right?” Postponing a problem only makes it worse. Is SigmaPure cheaper and easier than working with the state and federal environmental agencies, and their fines, when the plant has exceedences due to foaming upsets? Absolutely no question about it!
