<p>Disclosed is an apparatus for the electrolysis of water to promote the growth of aquatic organisms. The apparatus has at least two electrodes (100), each electrode having an electrically conductive interior (102) capable of serving alternately as an anode and as a cathode. Each electrode has a non-metallic exterior coat (103) made of from a chemical reaction between Portland cement and water, the coat having a surface and a controlled thickness. Each electrode also includes electrical connection means. The apparatus includes a reversible power supply, the supply capable of supplying a current at a controlled current density. The supply is also capable of reversing the polarity of the current at a rate so that any one electrode can serve alternately as a cathode and as an anode.</p> |
