Claim 17:
18. The OAE system of claim 16,
wherein the plurality of flow lines further comprises:
at least one salt outflow line extending from the electrodialysis apparatus to an inflow port of the salt buffer tank,
at least one acid outflow line extending from the electrodialysis apparatus to an inflow port of the acid buffer tank,
at least one base outflow line extending from the electrodialysis apparatus to an inflow port of the base buffer tank,
a third cross-feed line disposed between the at least one salt outflow line and the at least one acid outflow line,
a fourth cross-feed line disposed between the at least one base outflow line and the at least one acid outflow line; and
wherein the control circuit is further configured to control the plurality of valves such that, during said each descaling maintenance operation, said first portion of the acid stream exiting the at least one salt chamber is directed along the third cross-feed line to the at least one acid outflow line, and the second portion of the acid stream exiting the at least one base chamber is directed along the fourth cross-feed line to the at least one acid outflow line.
