A process apparatus comprises at least one elongate hollow semi-permeable member 1, at least one anode 2 and at least one cathode 3. The anode and cathode are arranged radially and concentrically with respect to the semi permeable member. Preferably the hollow semi-permeable member is a filter element such as a water filter element and may be formed as an anode or cathode. There may comprise a plurality of hollow semi-permeable members and associated anodes and cathodes and a housing 7 adapted to communicate liquid from the housing inlet 8 through the plurality of hollow semi-permeable members to an outlet 9. Also disclosed is a process apparatus characterised by an anode in the form of an elongate hollow member comprising a semi-permeable wall and a cathode arranged radially and concentrically with respect to the anode. Advantageously the process apparatus provides a compact arrangement incorporating conventional filtration and an integrated, compact electrolysis function. |
