Recent advancements include biodegradable and eco-friendly antifoaming agents, which reduce the environmental footprint. Nanotechnology is also being explored to enhance defoaming performance, offering new opportunities for targeted and efficient foam control.

Regular maintenance and monitoring of antifoaming systems are crucial to ensure consistent performance. This includes checking for clogs, leaks, and proper defoamer levels. Regular testing of the treated fluid can help identify any changes in foam characteristics and adjust the defoamer dosage accordingly.
