A very classical issue. Use anti foam.
In oil fields, separators are used to separate oil and gas contained in the crude oil pumped
from the wells before processing. Although there are many factors influencing the
performance of these separators, one of the crucial problems is the formation of foam due
to the impurities present in the crude. Another operating problem is carry-over, which occurs
when free liquid escapes with the gas phase. Of the several methods used to control foam,
chemical control by use of antifoam agents is very important.

If it can't be managed with chemicals or by changing operating levels, you can retrofit a mechanical foam breaker like those in the attached leaflet.
1-using anti foam chemicals
2-using additional internal devices
3- increasing pressure setpoint
