1. A dense loading system comprising:
a dense loading machine;
a catalyst load;
a catalyst reactor;
the dense loading machine comprising a receptacle, a cavity, a catalyst receiving port, a motor system, a gas piping system, a sparger system, and a catalyst distribution disc;
the dense loading machine being mounted within a loading aperture of the catalyst reactor;
the cavity traversing into the receptacle;
the cavity extending from a first end of the receptacle towards a second end of the receptacle wherein the first end is positioned opposite to the second end across the receptacle;
the catalyst receiving port delineating the first end of the receptacle;
the catalyst distribution disc being mounted adjacent to the second end of the receptacle;
the sparger system being mounted within the cavity adjacent to the second end of the receptacle;
the gas piping system being in fluid communication with the sparger system and the motor system;
the sparger system being operably aligned to the catalyst distribution disc, wherein gas from the gas piping system is distributed along the catalyst distribution disc through the sparger system;
the catalyst distribution disc being operably coupled with the motor system, wherein operating the motor system governs rotational motion of the catalyst distribution disc;
the catalyst distribution disc being rotatably coupled around the receptacle; and
the dense loading machine being operably coupled to the catalyst reactor, wherein the catalyst load coming through the catalyst receiving port into the receptacle is evenly distributed within the catalyst reactor by the catalyst distribution disc.
