What Are The Factors That Influence 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.

As such, the sellers should quote an accurate estimate of the overall cost within two hours after the request, basing on the variables and the buyer's preferences. The factors such as oxygen toleration, the proximity of the gas plant and the required volume to be generated must also be considered.

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 installations like the oxygen analyzer and pressure boosters also influence the overall cost. The process is so critical that the oxygen level has to be monitored all the time. In some cases, a pressure level exceeding 200 psig may be necessary. This calls for a booster for elevating the pressure level to meet the requirements.

The other feature is feed air compressors that come in when the client do not have compressed air or enough pressure for air compressing. The dedicated air compressor further increases the cost. In addition to this, there is the compressed air dryer. In all cases, whether for PSA or membrane, dry compressed air has to be used.

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.

Nitrogen generator is a very wise investment, thus promises to recover the cost of investment within a year or two. It is important that the buyer takes time and only invest in a high quality machine. There are experts that can help in the selection process, and even in the installations. As such, a lot of considerations in regards to the environmental factors and the unique preferences of the client determine the overall cost of the nitrogen generator.
