Surfactant solutions energy sets

Foam technology is used to apply stain release chemicals to carpet. Liquid solutions normally used for treatment are replaced with foams. Wet pickup is lowered to as little as 8% in special applications, compared to 100% wet pickup in conventional methods [72]. The minimum pickup level for good finish penetration on cotton and cotton blends is about 45% [71], The reduction in water use at one plant was 20 million liters per year, and energy was cut 10% overall [72], However, foam and the surfactants necessary to produce it have their own set of problems in wastewater.
