The present invention relates to an electrolyzer structure for electrolysis apparatus and, more particularly, to an electrolyzer structure for electrolysis apparatus that has a plurality of transport pipes stacked in series on top of one another to avoid deterioration in the flow speed of a fluid and minimizes the contact between the electrode and the hydrogen generated by the hydrolysis process to prevent deterioration in electrode performance and an increase of energy consumption. For this purpose, there is provided an electrolyzer structure for electrolysis apparatus that includes: an inlet opening and an outlet opening formed on bottom and top portions on the one side thereof, respectively; a plurality of transport pipes stacked in series on top of one another to form a one-way flow passage in a zigzag pattern; and an electrode placed in each transport pipe to cause an electrical reaction of ballast water flowing into the transport pipe, where both end portions of the stacked transport pipes are alternately closed down and up, the closed portion having an orifice hole going all the way to the upper adjacent transport pipe.
