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.
