I think "charging" is still in common use. It often appears in OPRD papers and patents.
It's super common in industry. Our operators will never "add" anything, they always "charge" stuff.
Or rather, if it's a catalyst or flakes or some such they use "add", but anything pumped, pushed or sucked in via a pipe they will say "charge". Ah well, it's never a "pipe" but a "line".
