Usually, there are no fixed prices for the nitrogen generators since it is affected by many factors, the main being the industrial price of the gases. Some of the factors to look at in the nitrogen generator price include the application, the size, and the type. As a rule of the thumb, a generator that achieves 70% utilization factor should be able to pay for itself in a period of two years or less. The generation process should also be able to tolerate some level of oxygen. Last, the cost may also be influenced by factors such as the proximity to the gas plant and the volume consumed.
When the seller or the manufacturer receive a request for the price quote, there are several variables they have to put in, and most of these depend on the intended use of the machine, the volume of gas to be generated, and the location.
Generally though, the generators can be broadly categorized into three. These are the small flow, the medium size, and the large flow. The small flow generators have a price range from $3,000 to $20,000. The medium flow goes for $20,000 to $100,000 and the large flow for anything above $100,000. However, these are just estimates and it is possible to get a quote above or below the said range.
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.
Generally though, this is a wise investment, particularly for those who invest in high quality generators. If everything is properly in place, it can turn to be a source of massive income for the business. In case there is any doubt in the process of installation or operation, it is recommended that you seek the services of an expert who can make a wiser choice basing on your unique requirements and the environmental conditions of your plant.
