Method Of Loading Carbon Molecular Sieve To Psa Tank

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the optimal method for loading 14 tons of Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) into a 5-meter tall, 2-meter diameter PSA Nitrogen Producer tank. The suggested approach includes using a mortar screw pump connected to an extended hose to facilitate loading. Additionally, employing a high-volume suction system, such as an industrial vacuum cleaner with a cyclone separator, is recommended to prevent damage to the CMS pellets during the loading process. The removal of the agitator from the hopper and the use of a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to control the motor speed of the screw or pump mechanism are also discussed to avoid crushing the pellets.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) properties and applications
  • Familiarity with PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology
  • Knowledge of mortar screw pump operation and configuration
  • Experience with industrial vacuum systems and cyclone separators
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and operation of mortar screw pumps for bulk material handling

Dear all
I want to loading about 14 ton of CMS (Carbon Molecular Sieve) into a PSA Nitrogen Producer tank.
The tank is 5 meter tall with 2 m in diameter.
What is the best, simplest and fastest method to load the pellet of CMS into that big tank?

I consider this mortar screw pump and connect it to a long / extended hose to reach the top of the tank.

Within removing the agitator inside the hopper and used VFD/VSD to slow down the motor speed of Screw or Pump mechanism, will the screw still crunch or crush the CMS pellet?

Sorry for my English.

Best Regards

Consider a high volume suction system such as an industrial vacuum cleaner, with a cyclone separator on top of the tank.
That can be rearranged to load pellets into, or to empty the tank, without damaging the pellets.
