Atlas Copco Industrial Gases – Professional Nitrogen Generator – NGMS

Atlas Copco Nitrogen Generators

When compared with the delivery of nitrogen bottles or bulk tank top ups of nitrogen gas, on site generation can be delivered very cost effectively by using excess capacity from your existing compressed air supply, or installing a stand-alone nitrogen generation system.

BRE UK is very experienced in helping clients determine if on site nitrogen generation is possible, and how much cost savings you could achieve by switching to on-site nitrogen generation.

How will I know if On-Site Nitrogen Generation is Cost Effective?

Calculate your Current Nitrogen Usage

First of all, you need to get to know your average nitrogen usage by working out how much Nitrogen you are using. 

An easy and quick way to determine your average usage is to add up the total m3 of Nitrogen you have used over a given period of time. You’ll find this data by adding up the total m3 bottles used or checking your bill for the total cubic metres of nitrogen that has been delivered. Then divide number by the total number of hours nitrogen was in use over the period those purchases cover.

For example, if you used a 146m3 cylinder every week, and the Nitrogen was in use 7am-6pm Monday to Friday.

Over four weeks, this would equate to an average usage of (146m3 x 4 weeks) / (11hrs x 20 days)  = 2.65m3/hr average nitrogen usage.

Calculate your Current Nitrogen Supply Costs

Next calculate your existing nitrogen supply costs so you can compare your current spend with your existing nitrogen gas supplier over a similar period of time (e.g 4 weeks).

You’ll find this information by reviewing the most recent invoices from your Nitrogen gas supplier.

These will outline:

• Your costs for nitrogen gas supply
• Any rental costs you might have for bottle banks or a bulk storage system
• Any delivery costs you incur.

For example for a 4 week period you might currently be spending:

• £3598.80 for 4 x Nitrogen Bottle Bank
• £303.60 for monthly rental of Nitrogen Bottle Bank
• £398.16 for delivery / uplift of 4 x Nitrogen Bottle Banks

This adds up to a monthly cost of £4300.56 every four weeks based on the example above.

Contact BRE UK for a Nitrogen Generation Quote

Now that you know your current Nitrogen usage rate, and your supply costs, contact BRE with your findings and our team will prepare a tailored quotation for you that is specific to your Nitrogen use requirements and a recommendation of a suitable Nitrogen generation system from Atlas Copco. We’ll be able to project your annual running costs, and compare them to the proposed system so that you can also measure your expected return on investment.

A state of the art Atlas Copco Nitrogen Generation System will likely deliver a very fast return on initial investment even after you’ve considered initial purchase price, electrical running costs, maintenance costs and compared this to your existing costs for buying in nitrogen in bottle format.

As a guide, we generally see ROIs of less than 2 years for Nitrogen Generators.
