What would you do with a setup like this?

There are silos that were bought by companies that do really high
precision machining. The silos offer a highly stable environment that
can be temperature controlled. They are free of the minute vibrations
often caused by highway traffic because they are usually in fairly
remote locations and are of massive concrete construction.

But most of them do need a pump.
