Removing foaming from borewell water

Published on by in Case Studies

We add surfactant in borewater but when the water is extracted from the borewell the foaming due to surfactant does not dissolve in water.

My question is that how to remove that foaming present in water due to surfactant?

  1. It is the decaying leaves and other organic substances that cause foaming.  In order to remove them, please adopt one of the following: Boiling, add oiodine tablets, use chlorine drops, filter or

    use ultraviolet light.

  2. I think the surfactant gets depleted as the borehole is developed and test pumped and cannot indefinitely remain in the water!
