What Are the Environmental Benefits of Using Onsite Nitrogen Generators?

     Nitrogen gas is used for many industrial applications. In an effort to be more environmentally conscious and cut down costs at the same time, many organizations that rely on this inert gas are adopting the idea of installing onsite nitrogen generators.

Environmental Benefits of Onsite Nitrogen Generator
Lower Energy Consumption

Environmentally conscious businesses are constantly looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption. Eliminating the need to order nitrogen from traditional gas suppliers is one small step you can take to reach that goal. Onsite generated nitrogen is typically more energy efficient then producing nitrogen gas and liquid nitrogen at air separation plants, especially if your process only requires lower purity nitrogen.

Reduced Carbon Footprint from Elimination of Cylinder Manufacturing

The environmental impact of manufacturing and preparing the cylinders that nitrogen gas is stored in during the delivery process is significant and uses a great deal of energy. 

These cylinder manufacturing plants release large amounts of CO2 into the air during the manufacturing process. By using an onsite nitrogen generator, you eliminate the need for any nitrogen cylinders. 

Reduced Carbon Footprint from Transportation 

Creating your own on-demand supply of nitrogen from onsite nitrogen generators eliminates the need for nitrogen deliveries from conventional industrial gas suppliers which therefore reduces the number of delivery trucks that are on the road and limits the number of harmful emissions they release into the atmosphere.
