The P.R.I.C.E. Benefits of On-Site Nitrogen

Introduction If your business is a regular consumer of nitrogen, you’re likely (and perhaps even painfully) aware of what a hassle nitrogen-tank rental and delivery can present. Those bulky nitrogen cylinders take up a lot of floor space in your facility, and being such heavy vessels containing gas under high pressure, they amount to an ever-present safety risk. Further, the rental/delivery service can be very expensive, tank replacement regularly leads to downtime and added labor costs, the gas company’s strict contracts can be a challenge to get out of … and the list goes on. If any of...

The P.R.I.C.E. Benefits of On-Site Nitrogen - 3

Reductions Increased Safety When a business implements on-site nitrogen generation, the reductions it can realize include: • Reduced downtime: Because a nitrogen generator is constantly available and its tank is always being refilled, there's no need to switch out cylinders, resulting in downtime reductions. • Reduced labor: On the same note as the item above, because the need to switch out tanks regularly is eliminated, the labor costs involved in doing so are also eliminated. • Reduced injuries: Since there is no longer a need to switch out and move the heavy nitrogen cylinders, the risk...

The P.R.I.C.E. Benefits of On-Site Nitrogen - 4

Efficiency/Environment On-site production creates efficiencies and environmental benefits by effectively eliminating both the production and delivery phases needed for each delivered cylinder, as it eliminates the need to burn energy in converting nitrogen gas to liquid, and it reduces the carbon dioxide emissions generated by delivery vehicles. In addition, by avoiding the return of partially filled tanks, as well as any necessary gas bleed-off/venting before tank return, on-site nitrogen generation reduces waste right at the facility. If you’re still having nitrogen cylinders delivered to...
