A bipolar electrolyzer comprising:
- a plurality of bipolar unit cells each constructed of an anode-side pan-shaped body and a cathode-side pan-shaped body, each pan-shaped body including a hooked flange, frame wall, and partition wall, corresponding anode-side and cathode-side pan shaped bodies being disposed back to back;
- rod-shaped frames inserted between the hooked flange and the frame wall in each pan-shaped body;
- and
- an anode and a cathode which are welded to a corresponding partition wall through electrically conductive ribs,
- said plurality of unit cells being arranged in series.
