odour removal system
Explanation:
Considering the design of the "luktstopp" (according to ref, which I think is the one you are referring to based on previous questions), I would call it a system. There are other systems incl a filter/membran and they call it an odour removal system (google).

odour trap


Explanation:
PUM stands for Purus Universalmembran which is used to stop odours escaping even if there is no water in the water trap (Sw. vattenlås).

Purus have used the term "Odour trap" in application for patent.

Example sentence(s):
  • The present invention relates to an odour trap intended for installing in a pipe to a drain.
