Advantages of On-Site Nitrogen Generation

Nitrogen generator NGP 450 + installation

How does an independent nitrogen production on site work?

Imagine that your production is ramped up and your supplier cannot deliver nitrogen quickly. Do you want nitrogen to be available quickly and immediately? Then an independent nitrogen supply is the solution. Simply produce your nitrogen yourself and save money in the process. With a nitrogen skid you can produce nitrogen in the required quantity and purity directly on site. 
It works like this:


1. A compressor supplies compressed air, which is stored and then processed by a nitrogen generator and passed on in a container.

2. The nitrogen generator controls the pressure and the purity of the nitrogen and ensures the required standards.

3.  The nitrogen is now available for production.


Every application with fluctuating nitrogen requirements can benefit from this solution. You can fill your bottles yourself. All components of the nitrogen skid are extremely energy-efficient, so you significantly reduce your compressed air and power consumption.

This video shows you how a nitrogen skid works:

Advantages of on-site nitrogen generation directly at the production site

The independent nitrogen generation can generate a multitude of advantages. These are mainly due to the constant availability around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Especially in the areas of increasing efficiency, lowering operating costs through potential savings in rent and transport, as well as the independence of production from external suppliers, an in-house nitrogen generator can score here.

In addition, no order administration is required and valuable storage space for nitrogen cylinder bundles is saved. The on-site nitrogen generation not only protects your wallet, but also contributes to environmental protection and CO2 reduction, as fewer transports have to be carried out.

For which industries and locations are nitrogen generators worthwhile?

The potential savings discussed can be achieved in all industries such as the glass, plastics or food industries, in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, in laser cutting and at all locations, including on the high seas.

The industries in which nitrogen is used are diverse, including chemistry, metal heat treatment, semiconductor production, electronics industry, animal feed production, food and beverage industry, plastics production and many more.

Local peculiarities such as the electricity price as well as your specific requirements for our products such as the volume flow and the degree of purity influence the payback period. However, if you look at the nitrogen generation on site as a whole, it almost always pays off.
