Years ago I saw a demonstration of the extraction of air suspended in water with vibration. Currently I am in great need of one of those devices. Can anyone guide me to one?
 
Ultrasonic vibration as used in ultrasonic cleaning systems will rapidly degas water.&nbsp;&nbsp;These systems range in size from small jewelry cleaning systems that hold a few ounces of cleaning liquid to large industrial systems that hold hundreds of gallons of cleaning solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The basis of the cleaning mechanism is that vibration of high enough amplitude is used to cause cavitation during the negative pressure part of the vibration cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, the fluid will not cavitate effectively until it is degassed.&nbsp;&nbsp;When a system is initially started up with new fluid, the degassing takes place first.&nbsp;&nbsp;I believe higher frequency ultrasonic systems degas quicker than lower frequency systems, but I'm not entirely sure on this point.<br><br>For more details on the specifics of your application, you should probably contact a supplier of ultrasonic cleaning systems.&nbsp;&nbsp;A web search under &quot;Ultrasonic Cleaning&quot; will give you many companies to check out.&nbsp;&nbsp;One company that I know provides good equipment is Lewis Ultrasonics.
