Abstract
Dielectric rails () support an electrode stack () that is compressed between end pressure plates (). The stack is composed of a dielectric spacer () forming a central spacer opening, separating a pair of electrode plates () that each have a different configuration of openings. A first electrode plate () of the pair has a central aperture, while the second electrode plate () of the pair has peripheral apertures. A compression device such as a hydraulic cylinder () compresses the stack, sliding the plates and spacers together to form a pressure-tight reaction chamber (). When the cylinder is released, any plate or spacer is readily removed from the stack for replacement or maintenance merely by lifting it off the rails. An electric potential can be applied to each electrode plate at a connecting ear (), which may be a one of the rail guides ().
