Capacitive Electrode, Membrane Stack Comprising Electrode and Method for Manufacturing Such Electrode

Method for manufacturing a capacitive electrode for a membrane-based process, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an electrode housing comprising:
• a number of housing walls that enclose a housing space;
• and
• an opening that is operatively connected to the housing space, and wherein the opening is configured to be positioned adjacent an end membrane of a membrane stack;
• providing a current feeder to the electrode housing, wherein the current feeder comprises a connector that extends at least partially outside the electrode housing;
• providing a capacitive layer to the electrode housing;
• applying a gel layer, such that the gel layer is in contact with the capacitive layer,
• wherein the gel layer is applied near or in the opening and seals the opening of the electrode housing, or wherein the gel layer is applied near a bottom end of the housing which is opposite the opening.
