pressure, by raising the level of water seal overflow pipe and adding the DM water proper valve
will be open.
3. LYE Preparation - Lye is prepared by mixing KOH flakes (depends on technology) with water
approx. 200 to 300 Litres of Lye is required for one cell. Safety precautions must be taken while
handling with Lye.
