The invention relates to a device for forming concretions in an electrolytic medium by electrolysis, which comprises an anode 110 and a cathode 120 submerged in the electrolytic medium and a regulating circuit 100 configured to regulate an electrolysis current in order to form concretions on the cathode 120.

The anode 110 and the cathode 120 are used as a current source for supplying the electrolysis process and are connected in the regulating circuit by at least one regulating element capable of limiting the electrolysis current.

According to one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a combiner for the removal of hydrogen/oxygen gas in a gaseous stream, said combiner comprising: a pipe capable of accommodating the flow of a gaseous stream, wherein the pipe is adapted to transmit the gaseous stream to a catalytically active structure (CAS), the CAS having: contact with the substantial majority of the gaseous stream, a housing, and an inlet, said inlet being connected to the pipe, and an outlet, for the removal of the gaseous stream post recombination, and a second pipe connected to the outlet of the CAS for the transmission of the gaseous stream away from the combiner. A second embodiment of the invention sees the CAS housed within an electrochemical cell directly.
