Innovacorp India Pvt Ltd is a manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of anti-foaming agents in Bhutan, with a focus on sugar mills and distilleries. Our range covers silicone-based, non-silicone and hybrid defoamers, selected according to the process stage, temperature and any downstream restrictions. Anyone who has stood near a juice clarifier or an evaporator knows the pattern: foam builds faster than the level controllers can respond, syrup overflows, and sugar ends up on the floor instead of in the pan. The right defoamer is not about chemistry for its own sake — it is about keeping the level stable at the dose that fits your process.
Foam in a sugar mill is not cosmetic. In juice clarification, foam traps air and fine bagacillo, which slows settling and carries sucrose into the mud. In evaporators, foam reduces the effective heat-transfer area, forces operators to run lower brix than the design target, and — in the worst case — leads to foam-over into the condensate line. In fermenters, foam can cause overflow and product loss. Silicone and non-silicone defoamers are used across these stages to break existing foam (knockdown) and to suppress new foam formation (antifoam) without affecting downstream product quality. The choice between silicone and non-silicone depends on the process stage, temperature, and any downstream restrictions on the final product.
| Property | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Milky white to pale yellow liquid (product dependent) |
| Active content | 20% – 100% (emulsion or neat, product dependent) |
| pH (as supplied, 1% emulsion) | 5.0 – 8.0 |
| Density (at 25°C) | 0.95 – 1.05 g/cm³ |
| Viscosity (at 25°C) | 200 – 3,000 cP depending on grade |
| Solubility | Dispersible in water (emulsion); insoluble in neat form |
| Shelf life | 12 – 18 months in unopened original packing |
| Storage | Cool, dry area; protect from frost |
Final specification is confirmed against the product datasheet and after a plant trial on your process stream.
Dosage depends on the process stage, foam severity, temperature, brix, and the presence of surface active substances. Indicative starting ranges for sugar processing:
Feed points and dosing method (continuous or slug) are discussed with your process engineers. Final dosage is confirmed after a plant trial.
Foam control works only when the defoamer matches the process stream. We work with your process engineers on defoamer selection (silicone vs non-silicone), dosage trials, feed-point design, and program reviews across the season. Final specification, dosage, and packaging are confirmed after a plant trial on your process.

Q1. Which anti-foaming agents are used in Bhutan's sugar and distillery
sectors?
Sugar mills and distilleries in Bhutan typically use silicone-based and non-silicone-based
defoamers, selected according to the process stage, temperature and downstream restrictions.
Innovacorp manufactures, exports and supplies these products for sugar mills and distilleries in
Bhutan.
Q2. How do anti-scaling agents help in high-temperature evaporators?
Antiscalants slow the deposition of scale on heat transfer surfaces. In evaporators, this helps
maintain heat transfer efficiency and reduce the frequency of cleaning. The dose and product are
confirmed against the feed composition and the operating temperature.
Q3. Can the same product be used as both a defoamer and an antiscalant?
Not usually. Defoamers and antiscalants work through different mechanisms — one controls surface
foam, the other controls mineral deposition. They are usually supplied as separate products,
dosed at different points in the process.
Q4. Do you supply anti-foaming and anti-scaling agents in bulk across
Bhutan?
Yes. We supply in bulk to sugar mills, distilleries and industrial users across Bhutan. Packing
options and dosing programs are discussed with your process engineers based on the process
stage, foam severity and scale load.
Send us your process stage, foam severity, and temperature details, and our technical team will propose a defoamer program that fits your plant. Call +91-9312871070 to speak with our team and request a sample, datasheet or a quote.
