What Determines The Nitrogen Generator Price?

By Janine Hughes


The nitrogen generators come in different sizes, capacities, and make. As such, the prices also vary widely to reflect these differences and many other factors. The major determinants of the overall cost include the type, the size, and the application. However, there are some modifications and additions that may be necessary and can thus further increase the cost. However, a generator that is in 70% operation should recoup its cost of investment within two years. The nitrogen generator price depends on the seller, and the capacity or the size of the machine.

If a request for price quote is put to the seller by email or phone call, they should provide an accurate quote, sometimes in less than two hours. The quotations provided are completely dependent on the sellers and the variables requested by the client.

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.

The oxygen analyzer is the other factor. Since the process is very critical, the oxygen level has to be monitored all the time. In case where the customer requires pressure above 200 psig, a booster will be required to elevate the pressure to the required level. This further increases the overall quote.

The feed air compressor is also the other feature that can drive up the cost. It is usually necessary in situations where the customer does not have a compressed air system. In some cases, there is no enough pressure for air compressing. However, introducing a dedicated air compressor means an increased cost. In some instances, compressed air dryer may be necessary.

Regardless of the type, whether membrane or PSA, the air has to be dry and compressed. As such, a dedicated air dryer may need to be installed particularly in the situations where air quality does not meet the standards in moisture content.

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.
