NITROGEN GENERATORS
Gas Generation Solutions designs and engineers on-site nitrogen generators for a wide range of industries, with thousands of systems deployed across North America and backed by a company with over 40 years in business. Our systems are built around two priorities every client shares: reliability and cost savings. On-site nitrogen generation reduces gas costs by up to 90% compared to delivered gas. Nitrogen generators from GGS deliver an average payback of 12 to 14 months, with many systems still in operation after 20 years. We produce nitrogen at purities from 95% up to 99.9995%, and every system is sized to your exact flow rate, pressure, and purity requirements. On-site generation lets most facilities eliminate bulk gas delivery, permanently.
If you need help determining your company’s nitrogen consumption, we can help. We offer full site audit services free of charge. Our line of digital Nitrogen Gas flow meters all have built-in cellular data loggers. We can measure and log your flow rate for a few weeks or months to verify your average consumption and measure any peaks in your usage. This service is also very useful to identify any equipment that may have leaks or is consuming an irregular amount of gas.

Frequently asked questions:
How does a nitrogen generator work?
Our systems use clean compressed air to produce pure nitrogen gas. Compressed air is fed into one of two nitrogen sieve beds. These sieve beds are filled with a carbon molecular material that aids in the separation of oxygen molecules from nitrogen molecules. When the first sieve bed is saturated the nitrogen is released into a nitrogen buffer tank. While the saturated bed is being purged the second sieve bed is running through the same purification process to deliver pure nitrogen at a constant rate demanded by your facility.
Does a nitrogen generator use a lot of power?
A nitrogen generator draws about as much power as a light bulb. The main cost associated with generating nitrogen is in the air compressor horsepower and local power price. These are the driving factors that will determine the cost per cubic foot of nitrogen generated by the generator.
What is the cost per cubic foot of nitrogen from a nitrogen generator?
Having run thousands of cost analyses, we see an average cost of $0.05 to $0.12 per hundred cubic feet of gas generated. This depends on local power rates and the purity required by your facility, which can range from 95% up to 99.9995%. If you are comparing your current gas bill, it is usually listed in CCF (Hundred Cubic Feet) or (FTS), which is basically the same as CCF.
What is the average payback on a nitrogen generator?
Our systems have an average return on investment of 12 to 14 months. For a turnkey system, the payback is typically 14 months. A turnkey system consists of all the tanks and feed air compressor required to feed the nitrogen generator.
How much does a nitrogen generator cost?
We sell systems starting as low as $5,400, with larger systems exceeding $250,000. The demand of the plant and the purity required from the system will dictate the size and cost. Regardless of the system size, the average payback remains the same.
What kind of maintenance is required on a nitrogen generator?
All of our systems have three inlet air filters that protect the system if the inlet air becomes dirty. The first filter removes water and dirt particles. This filter element is changed once every three months. The second filter removes oil particles and is changed once every six months. The third filter is a charcoal final filter. This is changed once per year. The yearly cost for filters runs a few hundred dollars, depending on the size of the system. It is also recommended that you inspect your valves and any safety valves on your system semiannually. You also have the option of calibrating your oxygen analyzer yearly if you desire. We offer this service in addition to selling a small calibration kit so that the client can do the calibration themselves. You will find that the simplicity of the system and the ease of service do not require a maintenance contract.
What size nitrogen generator do I need?
Our company offers free flow meter rental to all potential clients. We have flow meters in every size pipe imaginable. All of them come with cellular modems and data loggers. You will be able to view your flow rate in real time in addition to downloading your data. If you are interested in learning more about our nitrogen gas flow meters with data loggers, please click here. If you know the flow rate of your equipment, you can simply email us the flow, pressure required, and application. We can usually reply with a complete quotation the same day.
