Abstract

Apparatus for altering the concentration of a pre-selected component (11) of a feestock (12) wherein the feedstock (12) flows through flowpaths bounded by overlying barriers (13) which selectively pass the component (11). Flow of feedstock (12) elastically separates the barriers (13) to maintain laminar flow therebetween. The preselected component (11) may be routed to flow selectively through the barriers (13) either into or out of the feedstock (12).
