Nitrogen Generator Bellshill

On-Site Nitrogen Generation Bellshill

Nitrogen generators provide an efficient solution to meet your nitrogen requirements. Most businesses find on-site nitrogen more cost-effective and convenient than using bottled nitrogen supplies.

Installing a new nitrogen generator to an existing compressed air system, or an entirely new air compressor setup, is straightforward. It delivers a range of operational advantages, and typically, the investment pays for itself in under two years.

The Advantages Of On-Site Nitrogen Generation

On-site nitrogen generation benefits your business, the environment, and your finances.

Operational Enhancements

Using bottled nitrogen complicates the straightforward task of generating nitrogen. You must manage orders, ensure sufficient stocks, and store and transport bottles. And because you are reliant on the supplier, you might find yourself with over-specified or wasted gas.

Generating your own nitrogen gives you control over the process. You can produce exactly the gas you require, at the purity your processes need, and precisely when you want it.

Environmental And Safety Advantages

Although nitrogen gas is light, the bottles are heavy, and the delivery infrastructure has a considerable environmental impact from vehicle emissions. Meanwhile, moving those bottles between vehicles, storage, and use carries risks.

Integrating nitrogen generation in your compressed air system eliminates the need for delivery vehicles and bottle movements, so you can play your part in creating a cleaner planet.

Reducing Costs On Your Industrial Nitrogen

A significant portion of the expense of bottled nitrogen is attributed to delivery and infrastructure costs. The weight of the bottles makes delivery costly, and the need to manage and maintain large stocks of bottles creates substantial costs for suppliers, which are passed on to users.

Using a nitrogen generator removes these costs, which can be as much as 50% of your bottled nitrogen bill. Because nitrogen is generated from the atmosphere - the air is 78% nitrogen - you just pay for the energy of production and servicing.

We have had some clients recover the cost of their nitrogen generator in as little as six months compared to their previous bottled nitrogen bills.

Applications Of Nitrogen In Bellshill

Nitrogen is harmless and essentially inert. Many processes that require a clean environment utilise the gas. In industries such as food production and pharmaceuticals, it can be used for everything from moving products to flushing packaging to eliminate harmful moisture and prevent microbial growth.

In technology, it can help prevent oxidation and corrosion on delicate parts. Because generation is cost-effective, even small businesses in Bellshill, whether they handle food or are part of the area’s manufacturing sector, can benefit from on-site gas production.
