What Drives The Nitrogen Generator Price?

By Janine Hughes


The decision to invest in a nitrogen generator can be a very wise decision, particularly due to the fact that the gas is always in high demand. However, before emptying your bank account, it is very important that you take time to conduct a background check, compare prices, the available options, and match them to your unique requirements and preferences. Normally, return on investment should be within two years if it can operate at 70% capacity or more. In order to succeed in background check and feasibility study, you need to grasp the factors that determine the nitrogen generator price.

If a request for price quote is put to the seller by email or phone call, they should provide an accurate quote, sometimes in less than two hours. The quotations provided are completely dependent on the sellers and the variables requested by the client.

More often, the suppliers are able to give a quote within two hours. This depends on the type, the capacity, the manufacturer, the model, the year of manufacture, and the market forces of demand and supply. As such, the quote may vary from one supplier to the other necessitating the need to visit several suppliers. Luckily though, an email request or a phone call is enough for this.

The size or the capacity happens to be the major determinant of the overall cost. There are three major categories, the small size (small flow), the medium size (medium flow) and the large size or large flows. On average, the price range for small flow is $3,000 to $20,000. For the medium flow, the range is $20,000 to $100,000. Lastly, the large flow will normally go for anything above $100,000.

Other than the capacity, there are several additions and modification that greatly influences the cost. The first of this is the nitrogen buffer tank. The size of this tank comes in several options, each with a different quote. Normally, a constant flow application does not require a big tank. However, if the application is intermittent so that a large demand has to be met within a short time span, then a larger tank may be necessary.

The other additional feature is the oxygen analyzer. The process is very critical and the oxygen level cannot go unchecked. Other than this, the pressure required is an also an issue. Anything above 200 psig requires installation of a booster for the purpose of increasing the pressure to the required level.

The feed air compressors are also the feature that should concern the buyer, particularly in situations where the compressed air is not available or there is no are compressing capacity on the part of the buyer. Fully dedicated air compressor and a compressed air dryer are all additions that are going to drive the overall cost higher. It does not matter if the generator is a membrane type or a PSA, at the end of it all, the air has to be dry and compressed.

Generally though, this is a wise investment, particularly for those who invest in high quality generators. If everything is properly in place, it can turn to be a source of massive income for the business. In case there is any doubt in the process of installation or operation, it is recommended that you seek the services of an expert who can make a wiser choice basing on your unique requirements and the environmental conditions of your plant.
