General consensus is, one milliamp per square inch of one electrode.
You can generally get away with more if you stir, but [IMO] not over 3 milliamps per.

There are many ways to control current.
The fastest way might be to use constant voltage and gradually move the electrodes further and further apart with a slow screw feed setup. You might even be able to run the screw feed drive motor from the generating current and have it self regulate, then trigger an off switch at some point.

I have a friend who wants to make CS on a large scale,

I know that there is a ratio between the wetted area of the electrodes to the DC current applied.

Anyone help?
