Portable Oxygen Generator Systems Help Save Military Lives

rsz_1nThe men and women of the military risk their lives every day, and it’s important to have the medical supplies on-hand to save them. Unfortunately, many of the locations where emergency medical treatment is required are in a brutal environment far away from a hospital. That’s why it is crucial to have portable oxygen generator systems wherever military personnel are located.

Portable Oxygen Generator Systems at Work

Our USP 93% portable oxygen generator systems were built with a war zone in mind. They are extremely durable, easily moveable oxygen systems that can create medical-grade oxygen when needed, with no limits on quantity. Our portable oxygen generator systems are currently in use at several field hospitals in Afghanistan and Iraq, and they can help the military as a whole in many ways:

  • First responders can use a portable oxygen generator system to fill cylinders up to 2200 PSIG. It can be used around the clock to keep the cylinders full, ensuring everyone has the oxygen they need to survive.
  • The medical-grade air produced by our portable oxygen generator systems can also be directly connected to a patient in a field hospital.
  • With our POGS 33 oxygen generator, military field hospitals can generate medical-grade oxygen and medical-grade air to run anesthesia units and ventilators.

Why Use Portable Oxygen from On Site Gas Systems

It is impossible for the military to predict when they are going to need medical-grade oxygen, and how much they are going to use. With our portable oxygen generator systems on hand, they don’t have to. We take great pride is manufacturing high-quality, battle-tested portable oxygen generator systems that are:

  • Reliable. This is crucial. The military needs to know they will have oxygen when it is required, and since our portable oxygen generator systems allow them to produce their own, they never have to worry. And with the built-in backup system, a power outage won’t even stand in the way of saving lives.
  • Transportable. As mentioned, in many instances, our portable oxygen generator systems are required in situations that are not easy to get to, so when we say portable, we mean it. Only four people are required to carry the portable oxygen generator system to its destination, and once it is setup, no additional heavy or oversized equipment is needed.
  • Safe. Our portable oxygen generator systems are an FDA-approved Class II medical device, so they will always deliver the quality of oxygen that is required in lifesaving situations.

How NAPP Put a Nitrogen Generator to Work to Increase Their Productivity and Profitability

,

How NAPP Put a Nitrogen Generator to Work to Increase Their Productivity and ProfitabilityOftentimes, you don’t realize the value in something until you experience it for yourself. That is why we created our demo program, which allows companies to test out our nitrogen generators before fully investing in them.
Recently, Natural American Pet Products (which has since been acquired by Dogswell), a premier pet food packager in the United States, embarked on their path to nitrogen gas freedom by giving our nitrogen generator demo program a try.
Here’s their story…

NAPP’s Experience with a Nitrogen Generator

Natural American Pet Products (NAPP) was curious to test the ROI of an On Site Gas nitrogen generator at their pet food plant. Shortly after our first contact, we installed a nitrogen generator on-site at their Missouri facility. The rest is history.

  • Within 30 days of the demo nitrogen generator being delivered, NAPP purchased the unit outright.
  • Within 60 days of installing the nitrogen generator, NAPP sent back all of their nitrogen gas cylinders and LN2 dewars (and they don’t miss all the logistics that go along with them).
  • After five months, they had recouped all of the costs of the nitrogen generator.

Their Missouri facility now produces all of their nitrogen gas on-site using our nitrogen generator.

How a Nitrogen Generator Can Work for You

It’s easy to see why NAPP converted to solely using a nitrogen generator for their nitrogen gas needs. They were able to produce their own nitrogen gas when their production demanded it, and they didn’t have to deal with the deliveries and storage of nitrogen gas cylinders. This had a profound impact on their productivity.
Additionally, an on-site nitrogen generator allowed them to increase their profits drastically. Instead of the ongoing costs associated with nitrogen gas cylinders, they were able to pay for the nitrogen generator outright after five short months. Now, they have minimal overhead expenses for their nitrogen supply, and little-to-no maintenance to worry about.
If you are ready to see how a nitrogen generator can help your company flourish, contact On Site Gas Systems today. We would love to discuss our demo program with you to help your company become more efficient and profitable.

How PSA Nitrogen Generators Work

Nitrogen mHow PSA Nitrogen Generators Workakes up 79% of the air we breathe, so there is an unlimited source right at your fingertips waiting to be tapped to save you 80% to 90% of your current annual nitrogen costs. A Pressure Swing Adsorption Nitrogen Generator simply separates the nitrogen molecules out of your compressed air stream to a usable purity, flow and pressure, based on your required specification. Unlike other nitrogen separation technologies, PSA nitrogen generators give you the ability to achieve extremely high purities to 99.9995% or 5 PPM. The PSA process is a physical process and uses no chemicals, therefore the annual consumables costs are extremely low. PSA nitrogen generators also put very little strain on the equipment and filter media so units often last 20+ years with very little maintenance costs. It is not uncommon for a PSA nitrogen generator to exceed 40,000 hours of service.

PSA Nitrogen Generator Purity Requirements and ROI

When developing your specification for a nitrogen generator, it is important to understand that the size and cost of the equipment is mainly based on the purity and flow rate required. With PSA generators, it is key to identify your maximum peak flow requirement at any given point during your operation. It is also important to identify the minimum purity that you require to maximize your savings potential. Most applications do not require the “one size fits all” purity supplied by your gas company. For example, many food-packaging applications require 99.5% purity. 99.5% is considered a low purity for PSA generation leading to extremely low cost equipment and very efficient compressed air to Nitrogen ratios. There are many applications where high purities of 99.999%+ offer tremendous savings as well.

Liquid Dewars Versus PSA Nitrogen Generators

Many of our electronics and lab customers are not candidates for bulk cryogenic tanks based on volume so they are forced to use expensive liquid nitrogen dewars. In most cases, liquid nitrogen dewars are roughly 50% more expensive than PSA generators. There are also many inherent dangers in using liquid dewars that just don’t exist when using a PSA generator. With a PSA nitrogen generator there are no deliveries, no rolling heavy wheeled pressurized canisters through the plant and no venting and boil off your product.
Please contact On Site Gas Systems to discuss your flow requirement, your purity requirement and your pressure requirement. We will then work with you to design a nitrogen generation system to maximize your savings potential. We will also provide you with a Return on Investment profile that will outline the “real” savings achieved using our Pressure Swing Adsorption technology.

Nitrogen Gas On Site in the Food Packaging Industry

,

Food Industry Nitrogen GeneratorsWith so much time spent on getting your product perfect, it only makes sense that you would want your food packaging to preserve its quality and freshness – all while keeping manufacturing costs low. Food is often damaged during shipment or has a shorter-than-necessary shelf life with traditional packaging. An easy solution to these common food packaging problems is a nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems.
Whether you use bags, cans, boxes, bottles, cardboard, or plastic, On Site Gas Systems offers a cost-effective nitrogen gas solution that gives you peace of mind knowing your product is fresh and intact on store shelves. Many companies are choosing to replace their current liquid nitrogen supply with On Site Gas Systems nitrogen generators to avoid ongoing energy and transportation costs associated with delivery of liquid nitrogen or cylinders. Beyond this, it’s important to understand these three reasons why On Site Gas nitrogen generators are a staple in the food industry:

Lengthens Shelf Life

Bacteria need oxygen to survive—it’s a matter of science. Without oxygen in your food packaging, you won’t have to worry about mold or mildew forming on your product. Our onsite nitrogen generator provides a simple, effective, affordable way to displace the oxygen out of your food packaging and replace it with nitrogen gas. As a result, your product can last a lot longer, so there is less waste.

Preserves Quality

Not only does nitrogen gas prevent mold and mildew growth, it also preserves the quality of your product. With nitrogen gas filling up the extra space in your food packaging, there is no room for moisture to get in—and as you know, moisture can deteriorate the quality of your food faster than just about anything. With a nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems, you can realistically save thousands of dollars per year because you won’t have to discard as much product.

Prevents Damage

Nitrogen gas for food packaging can prevent damage. If you place a fragile food product—like chips or crackers—in packaging that can be crushed during shipment, there is a high probability your product will arrive in pieces. On the contrary, with our nitrogen generator, you can easily fill the remaining space in your food packaging with nitrogen gas. In doing so, you will ensure that your product arrives to your customer as you intended.
For the past 28 years, On Site Gas Systems has been supplying reliable, USA-made nitrogen gas generators to food manufacturers across the world. From your morning coffee to an afternoon bag of chips (and even your glass of wine in the evening!), On Site Gas Systems help food packagers keep their product fresh and intact, while saving them time and money.

Nitrogen Gas Generators for Heat Treating

, ,

Heat Treating, Nitrogen Gas
Nitrogen gas is a lightweight, odorless gas that is common and unassuming, yet, without it, the heat treating process wouldn’t be nearly as effective. This common gas, when produced at a purity of 95% to 99.999% by our N2 generators, is instrumental to ensure a strong and beautiful end result, whether in a kiln or a furnace.

How Nitrogen Gas Helps with Heat Treating

During the heat treating process, two things are found in abundance: heat and pressure. Whether metal or another material is undergoing the heat treating process, oxygen is the enemy. Any metal over 600 degrees Fahrenheit will oxidize if it comes into contact with oxygen. This causes the product to become discolored and weakened. Even if it finishes the heat treating process intact, the item will not be as strong or as beautiful as it could be if no oxygen was present.
That’s where nitrogen gas comes in. Heat treating facilities use nitrogen gas to purge the oxygen from the air to guarantee their product will not come into contact with this quality-ruining gas. With a never-ending supply of nitrogen gas from an N2 generator, they can consistently keep the air free from oxygen and shield the iron, steel, and other metals from oxidization.

How On Site Gas Systems Helps Heat Treating Companies

Since nitrogen gas is so crucial to heat treating, it’s clear that it would be detrimental to run out of the supply during the process. With an N2 generator from On Site Gas Systems, this no longer has to be a concern. Companies can produce their own pure nitrogen gas right onsite, so they can rest easy knowing they will never run out.
Beyond that, heat treating companies love their N2 generators from On Site Gas Systems because they don’t have to bother with scheduling deliveries of nitrogen cylinders, and then waiting around for the driver to show up. They also don’t have to panic if a truck breaks down or there is inclement weather that causes the deliveries to be halted.
Heat treating companies especially love the amount of money they save with an N2 generator from On Site Gas Systems. Not only does an N2 generator quickly recoup the cost of the initial investment in the amount of nitrogen gas it produces, it also improves the quality of the product that is manufactured so less money is wasted on ruined materials.
If you are ready to improve the efficiency of your heat treating process, contact us today. We would love to get you set up with a custom N2 generator system to meet your manufacturing needs.
