Claim 1:
2. The OAE system of claim 1, wherein the base-generating device comprises a bipolar electrodialysis (BPED) system comprising:
a buffering system comprising a first buffer tank configured to store the feedstock solution, a second buffer tank configured to store an acid solution, and a third buffer tank configured to store a base solution;
an electrodialysis apparatus comprising at least one salt chamber, at least one acid chamber and at least one base chamber; and
a flow control system configured to: (i) direct a first stream comprising a portion of the feedstock solution from the first buffer tank through the at least one salt chamber, (ii) direct a second stream comprising at least a portion of the acid solution from the second buffer tank through the at least one acid chamber, and (iii) direct a third stream comprising a portion of the base solution from the third buffer tank through the at least one base chamber,
wherein the electrodialysis apparatus is configured to generate both a strong base stream including the fully dissolved base substance and a strong acid stream containing an acid substance by electrochemically processing the first stream, the second stream and the third stream.
