How to remove fog, created with a smoke machine (Glycol and water)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the removal of fog generated by smoke machines, specifically those using glycol and distilled water heated to 300 degrees Celsius. Turning off the smoke machine does not eliminate the fog, as it persists even after deactivation. Ventilation is suggested as a potential solution, but caution is advised against introducing any solids or gases into the environment due to regulatory concerns.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of smoke machine operation and fog production
  • Knowledge of glycol and distilled water properties
  • Familiarity with ventilation systems and air circulation
  • Awareness of local regulations regarding air quality and emissions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective ventilation techniques for smoke removal
  • Explore the chemical properties of glycol and its effects on air quality
  • Investigate regulatory guidelines for smoke machine usage in public venues
  • Learn about alternative fog production methods with less environmental impact
USEFUL FOR

Event planners, venue managers, and technicians working with smoke machines who need to manage fog effects and comply with air quality regulations.

Hey.

I really want to know if it is possible in some way, to remove the fog created by a smoke machine.

The fog is created from heating up glycol and destilled water at 300 degree C

Perhaps switching off the machine?
 
After thorough studies, the fog does not disappear just because you turn off the machine.
Never been to a disco?
 
OK, that was just a quick guess. Perhaps you could try using some sort of ventilation. I wouldn't recommend adding any solid or gas into the air, otherwise you may have problems with authorities.
