Why opt for On-Site Nitrogen Gas Generation?
For many manufacturers and industrial businesses, nitrogen is an essential part of day-to-day operations. From food and beverage production to metal fabrication, electronics and pharmaceutical applications, a reliable supply of nitrogen gas is often critical to maintaining efficient and consistent production.
Traditionally, businesses have relied on delivered nitrogen in cylinders or liquid nitrogen supplied by an external gas company. However, as energy costs, delivery charges and supply requirements continue to increase, more businesses are looking at a more efficient alternative: on-site nitrogen generation.
A little bit about on-site nitrogen generation…
An on-site nitrogen generator allows businesses to produce their own nitrogen gas when they need it, providing greater control over supply while potentially reducing long-term operating costs.
Atmospheric air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, along with oxygen and other gases. Our nitrogen generators use specialised separation technology to extract the nitrogen from compressed air, producing a supply of nitrogen gas suitable for the required application right there on-site.
So, what are the benefits of generating nitrogen on-site?
Reduce your nitrogen costs
One of the biggest advantages of generating nitrogen on-site is the potential to significantly reduce the cost of your nitrogen supply.
Purchasing nitrogen from an external supplier results in costs for the gas itself, cylinder rental, delivery and storage. These costs may not seem significant alone but they can quickly add up!
With an on-site nitrogen generator, the initial capital cost can be offset by the ongoing savings of producing your own nitrogen exactly when you need it. For many Midlands manufacturers, an on-site nitrogen generation system can potentially achieve payback within 12–24 months, followed by continued savings year after year.
On-site, means on-demand
Your nitrogen is generated directly at your premises, meaning you can produce what you need, when you need it. Instead of waiting for a delivery or managing cylinder stocks, you have your own reliable source of nitrogen available on demand.
Reduce the risk of running out
Running out of nitrogen during production can cause unnecessary disruption and downtime - on-site generation gives you the chance to minimise that risk.
With on-site generators, the days of production being interrupted because a delivery has been delayed or nitrogen cylinders have run out, are over. You produce nitrogen according to YOUR demand, giving you greater independence and confidence in your supply.
Gain control over nitrogen purity
At Air Kraft, we understand that different applications require different levels of nitrogen purity.
With an on-site nitrogen generator, you can select and control the required nitrogen purity to suit your site's application. This means you are producing nitrogen specifically for your operational requirements rather than purchasing a standard gas supply from an external supplier.
Improved safety and easier storage
Handling and storing liquid nitrogen can present additional safety considerations due to its extremely low temperature and the potential risks associated with oxygen displacement.
By generating nitrogen gas on-site, businesses can reduce their reliance on storing large quantities of liquid nitrogen or managing multiple gas cylinders.
A more sustainable approach
With an on-site generator, there is less reliance on regular gas deliveries, helping to reduce the transport and logistics associated with your nitrogen supply - therefore reducing the environmental impact!
You also produce only what you need, when you need it, which can help minimise waste and make your nitrogen supply more efficient.
