ABSTRACT: Antifoaming agents is been defined as a chemical that upon its addition into a liquid system prevents the formation of foam, it helps so much in processes like production of textiles in textile industries, fermentation in brewery etc. On the addition of an antifoaming agent, controlled measure has to be taken to avoid excess amount of it which can possibly negate its effect. Since, it has be discovered that silicnefluid which has been playing a role as antifoaming agent for most of the processing industries can be replaced by local processed vegetable oil (Palm Kernale Oil): which is to harmful to human health when consumed. There are some processes which palm kernel seed can undergo to control a foaming condition and it includes; soxhlet method, bleaching and deodorization of the oil. These processes helps to modify the oil that is been extracted, so that it can be used for any process that involves foaming without any hindrance. With the research work done based on the data collected, processing industries can exploit this opportunity and set up a unit to process locally available oil and use them to substitute the costly imported one’s.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
With many industries looking inwards into the use of local raw materials as substitute for the imported ones, many avenues are being explored. This is because the cost to the imported ones is exorbitantly high.
In operations, anti-foaming agents are necessary to stem the difficulties encountered in obtaining a good mix. These materials vote Xing in mixing operations, which if allowed to continue causes high energy consumption and hinders the effective dispersion of non-soluble solids.
2.1 DEFINITION
An antifoaming agent itself can be described as substance or chemical that upon addition into a liquid system prevents the formation of foam, is known as an antifoaming agent. Anti foaming agent are most effective when incorporated in low concentration. This is because when it is introduced in the excess dose, it tends to negate its function.
Most antifoaming agents functions also as defoamer which are materials that will suppress, reduce or destroy a foaming condition in a liquid system. Antifoaming agents from defoamers are import
