Nitrogen Generator Haddington

On-Site Nitrogen Generation Haddington

Nitrogen generators are a practical way to meet your nitrogen requirements. Most users find on-site nitrogen cheaper and more convenient than using bottled nitrogen supplies. Adding a new nitrogen generator to an existing compressed air system, or an entirely new air compressor installation, is straightforward.

It brings a range of operational benefits, and typically, the investment pays for itself in less than two years.

The Benefits Of On-Site Nitrogen Generation

On-site nitrogen generation is suitable for your business, the environment, and your budget.

Operational Improvements

Using bottled nitrogen replaces the simple task of generating nitrogen with a set of headaches. You must manage orders, ensure adequate stock levels, and store and transport bottles. And because you are dependent on the supplier, you might find yourself with over-specified or wasted gas.

Generating your own nitrogen puts you in control. You can generate exactly the gas you need, at the purity your processes demand, and precisely when you want it.

Environmental And Safety Benefits

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

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

Saving Money On Your Industrial Nitrogen

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

Using a nitrogen generator eliminates 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 recoup the cost of their nitrogen generator in as little as six months compared to their previous bottled nitrogen bills.

Applications Of Nitrogen In Haddington

Nitrogen is harmless and largely inert, so 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 so cost-effective, even small businesses in Haddington, whether they are handling food or part of the area’s manufacturing sector, can benefit from on-site gas production.
