Nitrogen Generators
Reduce Costs with On-Site Nitrogen Generation
Generating nitrogen on-site significantly cuts nitrogen consumption costs, which is why most businesses invest in GN2 systems. Purchasing nitrogen in gaseous or liquid form can range from $0.60 to $2.88 per 100 cubic feet, depending on factors like consumption volume, product type, location, and vendor. However, these prices only cover the gas or liquid itself and don't include additional costs such as:
- Delivery Fees
- Monthly Cylinder/Tank Rental Charges
- Bulk Evaporative Loss
- Handling and Labor Costs
- Extra Site Liability Insurance
By contrast, a GN2 system from Ingersoll Rand produces nitrogen gas at a cost of $0.13 to $0.32 per 100 cubic feet. These costs vary due to local power rates, compressor efficiency, maintenance expenses, and required nitrogen purity levels. A typical GN2 system achieves a return on investment (ROI) within 6 to 18 months, making it a highly attractive option financially, especially when considering the 75% to 92% reduction in nitrogen costs.
