Abstract: The invention comprises a fluid treatment of electrostatic flocculation of minute particles in a fluid such as oil. The device has a electrostatic chamber which has a plurality of perforated metal screens aligned along a path in the chamber. Means are provided to electrically charge the screens in an alternating polarity along the path with the charge creating a magnetic field on the screens for flocculation of the minute particles. The chamber has inlet ports and outlet ports spaced from one another in the chamber.
