Method Of Loading Carbon Molecular Sieve To Psa Tank

In summary, the conversation discusses the best method for loading 14 tons of CMS into a 5-meter tall, 2-meter diameter PSA Nitrogen Producer tank. The suggestion is to use a mortar screw pump with a long hose and a VFD/VSD to slow down the motor speed and prevent crushing of the pellets. Another option is to use a high volume suction system with a cyclone separator to safely load and unload the pellets without damage.

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.

1. What is a carbon molecular sieve?

A carbon molecular sieve is a material made up of small carbon particles that have a highly porous structure. This structure allows for the selective adsorption of certain gas molecules, making it useful in applications such as gas separation and purification.

2. What is a PSA tank?

A PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) tank is a container used in the process of separating gases using a carbon molecular sieve. It contains the sieve material and is used to store and release the purified gas.

3. How is carbon molecular sieve loaded into a PSA tank?

The loading process involves filling the PSA tank with the carbon molecular sieve material and then applying pressure and temperature conditions to activate the sieve. This activation process allows for the selective adsorption of gas molecules.

4. What are the benefits of using carbon molecular sieve in a PSA tank?

There are several benefits to using carbon molecular sieve in a PSA tank. It is a cost-effective and energy-efficient method for gas separation and purification. It also has a high adsorption capacity and can be easily regenerated for reuse.

5. What factors should be considered when loading carbon molecular sieve into a PSA tank?

The main factors to consider when loading carbon molecular sieve into a PSA tank include the type and size of the sieve material, the desired purity and flow rate of the gas being separated, and the operating conditions (pressure and temperature) needed for efficient adsorption.
