An apparatus for manufacturing a sorbent-containing fluid storage and dispensing vessel. A fluidizing vessel is arranged to hold a fluidized bed of solid-phase physical sorbent material, and sorbent material is fed to the fluidizing vessel. The sorbent material is fluidized with sorbable gas, to load the sorbent material with the gas and yield sorbate gas-loaded sorbent material. The sorbate gas-loaded sorbent material is transported from the fluidized bed into a storage and dispensing vessel, for subsequent use of the storage and dispensing vessel to selectively dispense the gas. Heat of adsorption effects are substantially eliminated in the fluidized bed, permitting the storage and dispensing vessel to be loaded at substantially ambient temperature.
