Claim 12:
13. A system for renovating a consumed anode at one metal-air cell without dismantling the cell, the system comprises:
a slurry return tube configured to circulate electrolyte through the cell to evacuate used slurry from the cell;
a fresh slurry supply tube configured to circulate electrolyte with fresh slurry into the cell and allowing sedimentation of the fresh slurry inside the cell to form an anode; and
at least one pressurized layer positioned adjacent to the anode of the cell and configured to compact the fresh slurry to reduce gaps and increase conductivity between its particles,
wherein the pressurized layer is disposed between two adjacent anode sides of two adjacent cells, between an anode side of one cell and a cathode side of an adjacent cell, or is further configured to apply counter pressure to a cathode side of an adjacent cell.
