Reducing expenses and greenhouse gas emissions: The argument for producing nitrogen internally as a move towards sustainability
In an effort to enhance site safety, decrease risks, and reduce truck traffic for gas deliveries, many packaging companies are turning to Oxywise for their nitrogen generation needs. Oxywise has established itself as a go-to provider for companies seeking to implement in-house nitrogen generation.
On-site nitrogen generation offers numerous benefits. It uses significantly less electricity than cryogenic production, reducing energy usage and carbon dioxide output. The switch to an on-site generator can lead to cost savings of 40% to 80%, with a return on investment achieved in as little as 6 to 18 months.
Delivered nitrogen comes with hidden costs, such as transport, cylinder rental, handling, and waste. By contrast, on-site nitrogen can be 25-40% less expensive than bulk liquid supply once delivery and diesel fuel costs are factored out.
Packaging facilities often use nitrogen for purposes such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), inerting, or preserving product freshness. On-site nitrogen generation eliminates the inefficiencies associated with deliveries, allowing companies to avoid delivery fees and rental costs.
In-house nitrogen generation offers a relatively straightforward way for packaging companies to decarbonize their operations and align with sustainability goals. It can slash nitrogen supply expenses by half or more, especially when replacing high-purity liquid nitrogen that may not be required.
Moreover, on-site nitrogen generation can save upwards of 50-70% of the energy (and corresponding CO2 emissions) compared to delivered liquid nitrogen. This energy efficiency not only benefits the environment but also improves the quality and productivity of packaging. An uninterrupted supply of nitrogen ensures a smooth flow for critical packaging processes.
Oxywise's nitrogen generators are engineered to deliver nitrogen reliably, safely, and at the optimal purity for various applications. They are built to be dependable, cost-effective, and flexible, providing a steady flow of nitrogen at the required pressure and purity.
The generators come with features that maximize efficiency and minimize energy use, directly translating to lower operating costs for clients. By partnering with Oxywise, packaging companies can assess the feasibility and benefits of on-site generation tailored to their needs, turning their nitrogen supply into a competitive advantage.
In addition, nitrogen generators optimize energy use and eliminate wasteful practices, aiding in regulatory compliance. Eliminating bulk nitrogen deliveries can significantly reduce a company's carbon footprint, making it a win-win for both the environment and the bottom line.
