In the liquid treatment of cellulosic pulp by a procedure comprising passing a column of a slurry of the pulp to be treated through a cylindrical vessel, in one direction, and forcing a treating liquid through the column, in a direction transverse to the major axis of the column, from a delivery space for such treating liquid toward a collection vessel for used treating liquid, said collection vessel having a pervious wall immediately adjacent said column on that side thereof remote from said delivery space, it is desirable-in the interest of preventing clogging of the pervious wall-intermittently to interrupt inflow of liquid into said vessel by pressure variations induced by a gaseous fluid discharged under pressure adjacent said pervious wall.
