Suspended solids extraction system and method

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A liquid containing suspended solids is first passed through an electrostatic treater, having no current flow across its electrodes, to initiate nucleation and coagulation of the particles. Thereafter, it passes through an electrolytic treater wherein current may flow between the electrodes to further encourage coagulation to such an extent that flocculation begins. The residual effects of the electrostatic treater prevent plating out on the electrodes of the electrolytic treater such that electrolysis can occur without sacrificing an electrode and the, electrodes are so arranged that the liquid passes sequentially through groups of concentrated lines of force whose repetitious powerful …
