The Rise of Onsite Nitrogen Generation: Why Businesses Are Choosing Advanced Gas Technologies

Nitrogen gas is a vital component in various industries such as semiconductors, electronics, and food packaging. It is widely used due to its inert properties that help maintain the quality and safety of products. However, traditional nitrogen delivery methods have their limitations, including high transportation and maintenance costs, complex logistics, compromised quality, and environmental issues.

Fortunately, a trend towards using onsite nitrogen generation is emerging as a solution to these challenges. With this technology, industries can produce nitrogen gas onsite, eliminating the need for logistics and transportation, ensuring uninterrupted supply, and reducing costs. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of onsite nitrogen generation.

Beyond Cost Savings: The Multifaceted Benefits of Onsite Nitrogen Generation

Cost savings are an important benefit of onsite nitrogen generation vs. delivered nitrogen, but there are actually numerous other advantages to having this capability directly on location.

Increased Control & Reliability: Companies gain increased control and reliability with a consistent supply that does not rely on deliveries. This also allows for more precise control over the purity and flow rate of the nitrogen produced, ensuring that it meets specific requirements for different applications.
Improved Quality & Safety: Nitrogen produced onsite is typically purer than traditional bottled nitrogen, as it does not come into contact with air or other contaminants during transportation or storage. The need for handling and storing heavy gas cylinders is also eliminated, reducing potential safety hazards in the workplace.
Environmental Sustainability: Onsite generation promotes environmental sustainability by reducing emissions, which is a critical initiative for many forward-thinking companies. It uses a process called pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or membrane separation to extract nitrogen from the air without any harmful byproducts.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The onsite approach helps to enhance overall operational efficiency by streamlining nitrogen supply and minimizing downtime. Moreover, with no need for storage space or handling equipment, valuable floor space can be freed up for other purposes, further improving overall efficiency in the workplace.

The HELLA Case Study: A Microcosm of a Macro Trend

German automotive parts manufacturer Hella Group (HELLA) designs and produces lighting and electronic component systems. Despite having a strong manufacturing and supplier network in Western Europe, HELLA needed a compact, mobile nitrogen generator for supplying nitrogen to plastic component manufacturing machinery at one of its Mexican plants.

HELLA had small and simple needs that many companies in the Western Hemisphere were not eager to fulfill, especially for a client unlikely to generate repeat business. HELLA struggled to find a supplier that met their requirements until reaching out to Advanced Gas Technologies. AGT immediately found a low-cost nitrogen generation solution that met HELLA’s requirements and supplied several systems to the manufacturer over the decade.

This case study points to a broader industry trend: Businesses are seeking agile, customer-centric solutions for their unique nitrogen needs.
