Don't Make This Mistake
Many businesses using bottled nitrogen could actually produce their own nitrogen at a fraction of the cost that they buy it.
There are three underlying reasons for this:
- A vendor supplying you with bottled nitrogen uses cryogenic distillation which is very energy intensive and passes this cost on to its customers
- There are a lot of cases where nitrogen with a higher purity than needed is purchased.
- Transport costs associated with moving the gas
Cryogenic distilled nitrogen produced through this process can attain a purity of 99.99% or higher – which is needed for certain applications. 99.99% and higher purity is only necessary in a handful of electronic assembly functions – Pharmaceuticals and food and beverage applications don’t even need 99.99% purity as a rule of thumb.
In many cases nitrogen in cylinders from a commercial gas company is the most expensive option. Costs are slightly lower for liquid nitrogen in a Dewar or bulk tank.
