Typical costs associated with ordering 87147 litres of liquid N2
ROI for 240LPM (14.4 m3/hr), 98% purity, 12hrs per day, 5 days per week (Liquid N2/Dewar/Bullet)
For labs using liquid nitrogen to supply their laboratory, there are significant cost savings available when using a nitrogen generator instead. Beyond the cost savings, on-site gas generation greatly decreases asphyxiation issues associated with the expansion of Liquid N2 to gas and dangers of cold burn associated with handling cryo liquids. With fewer deliveries your lab will benefit from a reduced carbon footprint (Consider the environmental impact of of purifying, cryocooling, transporting and evaporating Liquid N2) and with gas on-demand, no more waiting for deliveries to arrive, not to mention the space savings a gas generator can provide when compared with on-site liquid N2 storage.
