Electrolysis system and method of driving electrolysis system

A method of driving an electrolysis system comprising an electrolysis cell,

• the electrolysis cell comprising:
• an anode;
• a cathode;
• a diaphragm provided between the anode and the cathode;
• a first flow path plate having an anode flow path facing on the anode and through which an anode fluid containing an oxidizable material flows;
• and
• a second flow path plate having a cathode flow path facing on the cathode and through which cathode fluid containing a reducible material flows,
• the anode, the cathode, the diaphragm, the first flow path plate, and the second flow path plate being stacked in a first direction, and
• the method comprising:
• supplying the oxidizable material to the anode, supplying the reducible material to the cathode, and applying a voltage between the anode and the cathode, to oxidize the oxidizable material and thus produce an anode product and to reduce the reducible material and thus produce a cathode product;
• and
• rotating the electrolysis cell around a rotary shaft disposed on the opposite side of the cathode from the diaphragm and extending in a second direction intersecting with the first direction.
