A material treatment assembly comprises a first manifold having an inlet channel a second manifold having an outlet channel, a plurality of chambers in fluid communication with the first and second manifolds so that a fluid flows from the inlet channel through a material in each chamber and into the outlet channel, wherein the material maintains a position with respect to the manifolds, and at least one seal for each of the chambers adapted to permit repeated placement of material. A method for treating material comprises the steps of providing a plurality of chambers, loading material into the chambers, providing an inlet manifold having an inlet channel and an outlet manifold having an effluent channel, sealing the chambers into fluid communication with the manifolds and flowing a fluid from the inlet manifold, though the material and into the effluent manifold. |
