Abstract
A molded electrolytic cell body or frame for housing electrodes and a membrane has a passageway therein communicating an anolyte drain header or manifold or an anolyte discharge header with the anolyte compartment of the cell, through which passageway a conductor of material resistant to electrolytic attack is passed to connect the liquid in the anolyte drain or discharge header with the anode. The conductor acts as a target anode and inhibits electrolytic damage to the anode, thereby lengthening its life.
