Claim 13:
14. The OAE system of claim 13,
wherein the electrodialysis apparatus further comprises a first ion-permeable membrane disposed between the at least one salt chamber and the at least one acid chamber, and a second ion-permeable membrane disposed between the at least one salt chamber and the at least one base chamber;
wherein electrochemically processing the salt stream during said each base generating operation produces scaling material on the first ion-permeable membrane and the second ion-permeable membrane; and
wherein the control circuit is further configured to direct the acid stream through the at least one salt chamber and the at least one base chamber during said each descaling maintenance operation until the scaling material is removed from the first ion-permeable membrane and second ion-permeable membrane.
