Patent ID: 8920986

Claim:
A system, comprising: a basic galvanic battery cell for receiving a first flow of sea water and generating a basic effluent, wherein said basic galvanic battery cell comprises: a first inlet for receiving said first flow of sea water; a first solid oxidizer coupled to said first inlet for reacting with said first flow of sea water to generate a first catholyte; a first galvanic module coupled to said first solid oxidizer for receiving said first catholyte and generating said basic effluent; and a first outlet for releasing said basic effluent; an acidic galvanic battery cell for receiving a second flow of sea water and generating an acidic effluent, wherein said acidic galvanic battery cell comprises: a second inlet for receiving said second flow of sea water; a second solid oxidizer coupled to said second inlet for reacting with said second flow of sea water to generate a second catholyte, wherein the second solid oxidizer comprises an organic halamine; a second galvanic module coupled to said second solid oxidizer for receiving said second catholyte and generating said acidic effluent; and a second outlet for releasing said acidic effluent; and an effluent conditioning cell coupled to said basic galvanic battery cell and said acidic galvanic battery cell for combining said basic effluent and said acidic effluent to create a neutral effluent.
