<p>An electrolytic system (1) for treating aqueous solution which passes the solution along an inner helical insulator (15) wrapped around a centrally located anode solid rod (3) and an enclosing inner cathode tube (17), then along the inner cathode tube (17) wrapped or spaced with another helical insulator (19) and an enclosing outer anode tube (23). The solid rod (3) can be replaced with an innermost tube (45) in order for the solution to initially pass through a cathode portion of the system. Also, an innermost cathode tube (56) can have a plurality of apertures (58) as passageways for the solution. A DC voltage is applied, in one direction or in sequential fields of different directions, across the plurality of metal rods and tubes, thereby effectively removing both suspended materials and dissolved solids from the aqueous solution to be treated. The power required form the DC voltage source (35) can be decreased by treating specified tubes or rods.</p> |
