Abstract

A filter which can be cleaned in situ consists of a filter membrane (33), and fluid permeable electrodes (34, 35). The membrane may be one of the electrodes, or may be electrically non-conducting but integral with or in contact with one of the electrodes (34). The electrodes (34, 35) are separated from each other only by a fluid permeable electrically insulating sheet. This sheet may be less than 1 mm thick, and may be the filter membrane (33). The filter is cleaned by periodic brief applications of electric current between the electrodes (34, 35) so that gas is generated electrolytically, and the close spacing of the electrodes (34, 35) reduces the electric power required.
