LIQUID PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING LIQUIDS

摘要

A liquid processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a cylindrical tube that includes an inner portion configured to contain a liquid therein and an outer portion substantially circumscribing the inner portion. The outer portion includes a porous filter. A conductive assembly is coupled to the cylindrical tube, wherein the conductive assembly is configured to generate an electric field to apply on the liquid. The liquid is channeled from the inner portion of the cylindrical tube through the conductive assembly such that the liquid is filtered when the liquid is channeled through the porous filter and sterilized when the liquid is channeled through the conductive assembly.
