A model system for theory and experiment that is relevant to foam fractionation consists of a column of foam moving through an inverted U-tube between two pools of surfactant solution. The foam drainage equation and its variants are used for a theoretical analysis of this process. In the limit in which the lengths of the two legs is large, exact analytic formulae may be derived for the key properties of the system. Numerical computations and experiments support these results.
