[labnetwork] Is Nitrogen Generator a Viable Option

[Harlan, Richard D]

Greetings to All,
I am writing because we are being challenged, like everyone, to reduce our cost for research. We are considering other options for our Nitrogen gas source including a Nitrogen generator due to the recent cost increase of LN2. We are currently using a 2-tank system which supplies both the liquid and gaseous nitrogen to our facility.
We are averaging 80 to 90 SCFM of utility nitrogen and 6 -7 SCFM of High Purity Nitrogen. We would continue to maintain our liquid nitrogen supply.

Please provide your positive and negative experiences with Nitrogen generators as well as the manufacturer of the unit. All comments/suggestions are welcomed.  Thanks in advance for your input.


Best Regards,
Rich Harlan
