Nitrogen Generator Ayr

On-Site Nitrogen Generation Ayr

On-site nitrogen generation is both efficient and cost-effective, enabling businesses to reduce costs compared to bottled nitrogen deliveries by producing the gas to meet their specific operational requirements.

Design Air (Scotland) has been serving businesses in Ayr and across South Ayrshire for over 20 years, providing the complete range of compressed air services, including nitrogen generation.

What Is On-Site Nitrogen Generation?

Nitrogen is an abundant gas, comprising approximately 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere. Nitrogen generators take compressed air from your compressor, then separate the nitrogen using membranes or pressure swing adsorption methods. Using your own generator enables you to provide the volume and specification of nitrogen your processes require, as well as when and where they need it.

What Standards Can On-Site Generators Achieve?

On-site generation can deliver high-purity nitrogen. The Atlas Copco Range of PSA Generators, for example, can produce nitrogen that is more than 99.999% pure. On-site generation is a viable option even for demanding applications. A key benefit of having your own generator is that you can set the specifications you require. It prevents you from having to purchase over-specified nitrogen.

What Advantages Does On-Site Gas Generation Offer?

If you use nitrogen in your processes, then on-site generation is a practical choice:

  • Convenience: You control your nitrogen supply, eliminating the need to plan around cylinder delivery lead times and schedules.
  • Safety: Nitrogen bottles pose a safety hazard, requiring secure storage and careful handling during transportation. Using a nitrogen generator eliminates the need for heavy bottles.
  • A cleaner environment: You remove the pollution and emissions that delivering heavy bottles creates. A real benefit in areas like Ayr, where reducing transport emissions matters.
  • Control: You can set the specifications your processes require, reducing waste and costs while having confidence that the nitrogen you are using meets the standards you set.
  • Cost: On-site nitrogen generation is cheaper than bottled deliveries. Using a nitrogen generator can be as little as half the cost of equivalent bottled deliveries, and some users find the savings cover the cost of the investment in as little as six months.

What Businesses Can Generate Nitrogen?

Simply put, if you require nitrogen in your processes, you can generate nitrogen on-site. As a proven technology, modern generators are compact and efficient. They are also safe; the by-products are oxygen and water, meaning a nitrogen gas generator can be operated even in urban areas like Ayr.
