| 1. A method of operating an electrolysis system comprising the steps of:
positioning a membrane within an electrolysis tank, said membrane separating said electrolysis tank into a first region and
a second region;
filling said electrolysis tank with water and an electrolyte;
positioning at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of a first type within said electrolysis tank, wherein said at least
one pair of low voltage electrodes of said first type are fabricated from a first material, wherein each pair of low voltage
electrodes of said first type includes at least one low voltage cathode electrode of said first type and at least one low
voltage anode electrode of said first type, wherein each low voltage cathode electrode of said first type is positioned within
said first region and each low voltage anode electrode of said first type is positioned within said second region;
positioning at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of a second type within said electrolysis tank, wherein said at least
one pair of low voltage electrodes of said second type are fabricated from a second material, wherein said first material
is different from said second material, wherein each pair of low voltage electrodes of said second type includes at least
one low voltage cathode electrode of said second type and at least one low voltage anode electrode of said second type, wherein
each low voltage cathode electrode of said second type is positioned within said first region and each low voltage anode electrode
of said first second is positioned within said second region;
positioning at least one pair of high voltage electrodes within said electrolysis tank, wherein each pair of high voltage
electrodes includes at least one high voltage cathode electrode and at least one high voltage anode electrode, wherein each
high voltage cathode electrode is positioned within said first region and each high voltage anode electrode is positioned
within said second region;
positioning said low voltage electrodes of said first and second types and said high voltage electrodes within said electrolysis
tank such that each low voltage electrode of said at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of said first type and each
low voltage electrode of said at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of said second type is positioned between said at
least one pair of high voltage electrodes;
applying a low voltage to said at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of said first type and to said at least one pair
of low voltage electrodes of said second type, wherein said applied low voltage is pulsed at a first frequency and with a
first pulse duration; and
applying a high voltage to said at least one pair of high voltage electrodes, wherein said applied high voltage is pulsed
at said first frequency and with said first pulse duration, and wherein said high voltage applying step is performed simultaneously
with said low voltage applying step.
