ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for removing liquid from liquid bearing material are provided, the apparatus comprising a pair of movable electrodes having portions thereof disposed adjacent each other and defining an inlet to the adjacent portions and an outlet from the adjacent portions, a moving unit for moving the electrodes so that adjacent portions thereof serially move in the same direction thereof from the inlet to the outlet, a unit for feeding the liquid bearing material into the inlet so that sections of the material serially move with the adjacent portions from the inlet to the outlet while being disposed between the adjacent portions, a unit for creating a voltage between the electrodes so as to create an electrostatic field arrangement between the adjacent portions of the electrodes for acting through the material that is disposed therebetween to remove liquid from the material that is disposed therebetween, and a unit for increasing the voltage between certain parts of the electrodes so that the intensity of the electrostatic field arrangement that acts through each section of the material increases as each section of material moves from the inlet to the outlet.
