# Gas Generation Solutions ## About Gas Generation Solutions designs and supplies on-site nitrogen and oxygen generation systems for aerospace, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, electronics, and industrial manufacturing customers across North America. We replace delivered nitrogen (cylinders, microbulk, and bulk tank) with on-site PSA and membrane generators that produce gas at an average of one-tenth the cost of delivered gas. Most customers recover their full investment within 12 to 14 months, and our systems are engineered to run for 20 years or more. In business since 1979. Owner-operated by Tom Cunningham, who has over 26 years in technical sales for nitrogen and oxygen generation systems. ## Services and Pricing - On-site PSA nitrogen generators, 95% up to 99.9995% purity: roughly $16,000 to $500,000 or more, depending on flow rate and purity - Membrane nitrogen generators for utility, EPC, and high-flow applications - On-site oxygen generators, 95% up to 99% purity: roughly $16,000 to $250,000 or more, used in veterinary medicine, medical oxygen, aquaculture, and emergency and field applications - Liquid nitrogen (LN2) generation systems for laboratory and large-scale industrial use - Cylinder filling boosters and high-pressure systems for laser cutting, transformer blanketing, and battery manufacturing - Air compressors and fully integrated compressed air systems sized to the generator - Flow meter and cellular data logger rentals for nitrogen usage studies, with live web-dashboard readings - Custom engineered PSA and membrane systems for utility power generation and EPC bids, including the two-quote commercial and technical bid structure ## Industries Served - Electronics and semiconductor: selective, reflow, and wave soldering; semiconductor and silicon wafer manufacturing - Food and beverage: modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), breweries and microbrews, wineries, cheese, coffee, snack food, popcorn, pet food, and salad and condiment packaging - Aerospace and advanced manufacturing: laser cutting, metal 3D printing and additive manufacturing, autoclaves and composite curing - Heat treating and metals: heat treating, annealing, and belt furnaces, vacuum heat treating, aluminum degassing, and aluminum extrusion - Plastics and rubber: plastic injection molding and rubber manufacturing - Oil and gas, chemical processing, and fire protection - Utility power generation and EPC projects, membrane and PSA, with the two-quote commercial and technical bid structure - Pharmaceutical, medical device, and laboratory applications - Oxygen applications: aquaculture and fish farming, wastewater treatment, ozone generation, dairy and biogas, veterinary and animal hospitals, and medical oxygen - Cannabis packaging ## Locations - Office: Escondido, California (San Diego County) - USA-built systems, drop-shipped direct from a domestic factory partner - Service area: continental United States, Mexico, and Canada ## Contact - Phone: 760-505-1300 - Website: https://gasgenerationsolutions.com - Email: twc@gasgenerationsolutions.com - Hours: Monday to Friday, Pacific Time ## Service Area We sell and ship to all 50 US states, Mexico, and Canada. Generators are built to order and drop-shipped nationwide, so customer location is never a constraint. From our Southern California base we are especially active across the Western and Southwestern United States. We have supplied on-site nitrogen and oxygen systems to customers in 24 states: - West and Southwest: California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming - Midwest: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan - South: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi We also have customers in Mexico and Canada. ## Key Facts - In business since 1979 - Over 26 years of technical sales experience (Tom Cunningham, owner) - Thousands of systems deployed across North America - USA-built systems - 20 years or more service life on PSA generators - Built with ASME code-stamped pressure vessels - UL Listed to UL 61010-1 (T and TGN models) - CE marked - Built-in oxygen analyzer standard on every generator, reading buffer-tank purity - Up to 90% reduction in nitrogen operating costs compared to delivered gas - 12 to 14 month typical payback - Sealed sieve bed design (no top-off required, unlike flanged-bed competitors) ## What Makes Us Different We use sealed-bed sieve vessels rather than flange-style beds, which supports a 20-year-or-more service life versus the shorter lifecycle typical of imported and lower-cost competitors. All pressure vessels are ASME code stamped, and every generator ships with a built-in oxygen analyzer that reads buffer-tank purity. Our valves are protected inside the cabinet enclosure with rebuild kits available, while lower-cost systems use exposed plunger valves that require full housing replacement when they fail. We focus on long-term cost of ownership, not lowest upfront price. ## Frequently Asked Questions How much does an on-site nitrogen generator cost? PSA nitrogen generators range from about $16,000 for the smallest cabinet model up to $500,000 or more for large skid-mounted systems with high purity and flow. The right size depends on your application, flow rate, and required purity. Most customers see a 12 to 14 month payback compared to delivered gas. How long does a nitrogen generator last? Our generators are designed for 20 years or more of continuous service. Many installed systems continue performing well past that with routine maintenance. Can I generate nitrogen instead of buying delivered gas? Yes, and most customers should. Generating on-site eliminates delivery fees, cylinder rental, and supply risk. Operating cost is mainly electricity, which typically runs one-tenth to one-twentieth the cost of delivered nitrogen. What purity can your generators produce? We supply nitrogen generators from 95% up to 99.9995% purity. The right purity depends on your application. Food and beverage applications typically need 99.5% to 99.9%. Laser cutting needs 99.5% or higher. Selective soldering in electronics manufacturing needs 99.99% to 99.999%. Most other industrial uses fall in between. Do you serve customers outside California? Yes. We ship nationwide and have active accounts across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. How long does installation take? Lead time on a built-to-order system is typically 8 to 16 weeks from order. On-site installation is performed by the customer's qualified mechanical and electrical contractors and is usually completed in 1 to 3 days. We supply system drawings, startup procedures, and operator training, and can quote installation as an optional line item when requested. What about service and parts? Our generators are designed for low-maintenance operation with non-proprietary parts. Routine maintenance is mainly filter changes, performed by the customer, with typical changes at 3, 6, and 12 month intervals. We supply parts and technical guidance and do not require an expensive annual service contract. Do you handle utility and EPC bids? Yes. We supply membrane and PSA nitrogen systems to utility power generation customers through Tier-1 OEMs and EPC contractors. We are familiar with paint and coating specs, foreign material requirements, ASME, hazardous area classification, and the two-quote commercial and technical bid structure.
