A method of filtering utilises a filtering apparatus (10:110,200) having a filter member presenting a plurality of flow paths therethrough of a form to retain at least a portion of the material to be extracted the method comprising the steps of passing a stream of fluid to be filtered in a forward direction from an inlet (12) through the filter member, stopping the flow of fluid in the forward direction, or moving the filter member out of the fluid flow, changing the geometry of the filter member under gravity, e.g. by inverting the filter member to assist in removal of extracted material from the filter member. |
