Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016084037A1] This invention relates to an apparatus and method for production of gases from an electrolytic solution, and a system incorporating said apparatus and method. According to the invention there is provided an apparatus for separation of gases upon production from an electrolytic solution, the apparatus comprising a sealed chamber; first and second tubular members, each connected to a power supply pole, projected into the chamber; first and second permeable electrodes fitted to operative ends of the tubular members, the electrodes being spaced apart from and opposing each other resulting in an electrode gap; pressurised electrolytic solution introduced into the chamber via the inlet and passing from the chamber through the permeable electrodes and into the tubular members, resulting in first and second bi-phase flows consisting of fluid electrolytic solution and first and second constituent gases through the first and second permeable electrodes into the first and second tubular members.
