ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for removing liquid from liquid bearing material are provided, the apparatus comprising a crossflow filter apparatus for continuously removing liquid from a liquid bearing material comprising a housings, a filter disposed within the housing to form a crossflow chamber in the housing on one side of the filter and a filtrate chamber in the housing on the other side of the filter, and an electrode unit disposed in one of the chambers for creating an electrostatic field arrangement that enhances the flow of liquid from the liquid bearing material in the crossflow chamber through the filter into the filtrate chamber, the electrode unit providing a plurality of electrostatic fields that have different intensities that serially act on each section of the liquid bearing material as each section of the liquid bearing material moves from one end of the crossflow chamber to the other end of the crossflow chamber.
