OPTIMISED LIQUID OUTFLOW FROM MEMBRANE ELECTROLYSERS

A method comprising operating an electrolysis apparatus comprising a plurality of electrolyzers is provided. Each electrolyzer on the anode side has at least one liquid drain and at least one gas outlet, and separately therefrom on the cathode side has at least one liquid drain and at least one gas outlet. The anode spaces of these electrolyzers are connected to one another and separately therefrom the cathode spaces of these electrolyzers are connected to one another, in each case at least via a liquid feed, a gas discharge and a liquid discharge. The liquid drains from the anode spaces and/or the cathode spaces of the electrolyzers are effected, per electrolyzer, via a pipeline siphon into the pipeline system of the liquid discharge. An electrolysis apparatus and a method comprising decoupling an operating pressure on a liquid drain side of an electrolyzer are also provided.
