Nitrogen gas is used by a variety of manufacturers for uses that range from chemical manufacturing and electronics to laser cutting and food packaging. On-site nitrogen generation can provide additional opportunities for cost savings and other efficiencies for manufacturers who shift from delivered liquid nitrogen service.

Here are the top 10 benefits of on-site nitrogen gas generation:

  1. Freedom from fluctuating liquid nitrogen and delivery costs allows plant managers to establish more accurate annual budgets.
  2. Planning support from nitrogen equipment providers to determine savings potential based on the industry.
  3. Potential savings of 40 to 80 percent depending on liquid nitrogen market prices reduces costs and accelerates payback time.
  4. Potential return on investment within nine to 24 months depending on the current equipment in the facility.
  5. Increased operating efficiency.
  6. Increased purity levels.
  7. Reduced risk of employee injuries from storage tanks or exposure to delivered liquid nitrogen.
  8. Reduced carbon footprint by eliminating truck delivery.
  9. 24/7 availability of pure nitrogen gas means no breaks in production.
  10. Easy integration into a plant’s current compressed air system.

Manufacturers can increase efficiency and reduce costs with a shift from liquid nitrogen delivery to on-site nitrogen generation. Learn more by visiting our website or contact us by leaving a comment below.
