Odor Control - Possible new method?

[AquaponicHerb]

Check it out. A venturi is basically a vacuum, with a powerful enough water pump the air intake line works like a wetvac, mixing the fluid with the gas. Wondering if this could be used for odor control if an active solution could be put in place...

wow... that would be great if it worked. you don't think it would fail to catch the smallest particles? I'd be very interested to hear your results if you try this method!!! thanks for sharingAqua... :thumbsup:

depends on how fine you set the bubbles and the length of the tube you use that follows the intake line. think about it the venturi mixes the air thats being treated with the fluid; theoretically deodorized while in bubble form and in contact with the fluid...

I mean if you had a pump that was rated much higher, and had a good sized airline, u could process a lot of air, maybe worth looking into I'm not sure I don't wanna attempt it, but its a good avenue for research. I guess just build a sump at the other end for the atomized oxygen and water to release their energy and that would be your exit vent.
