Atlas Copco Compressors has bundled some of its most popular air and nitrogen offerings into five convenient packages.

　　In many industries, nitrogen can replace CO2 for inerting, bottling and purging — not only significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also saving up to 70% on monthly costs. A recent case study published by Atlas Copco and based on a brewery in the state of Washington highlights the benefits that can be realized by moving to on-site nitrogen for several key processes. It also outlines a solution that can eliminate up to two-thirds of the average annual costs of using CO2 for the same processes.

　　Through Atlas Copco’s nitrogen initiative, customers have the potential to save significant amounts of money every month, with zero limitations on the amount of nitrogen they can produce and use. After five years, the nitrogen generators are wholly owned, and the monthly payment would be zero. Additionally, by utilizing nitrogen over CO2, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by dozens of metric tons annually.

　　“In the current situation, we have focused on packages that can add value to the bottom line from day one,” said Paul Humphreys, Vice President of Communications and Branding at Atlas Copco. “With the new finance plans, we are working to ensure that the monthly savings are always greater than the monthly payments, providing positive cash flow from the start.”

　　This is all possible thanks to the latest editions to Atlas Copco’s full nitrogen generation range. The cost-effective NGMs 1–3 range features membrane technology and offers a highly efficient, compact, and simple on-site solution for low-flow N2 requirements, with the added benefits of minimal maintenance and operational costs. There are three models in the new NGMs range, and each can be wall-mounted to save coveted space and provide a fit even in small facilities.

　　The NGMs generators boast an extremely fast start-up time, taking only a few seconds to produce nitrogen at the outlet. This results in maximum uptime assurance and a continuous availability of nitrogen 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, the generator offers zero performance loss at high ambient temperatures, along with low service requirements.

　　The generators are supplied as an all-in-one, integrated package complete with filters. Fitted with pressure gauges to ensure accurate system monitoring at all times, the ready-to-use units are housed in a fully enclosed protective canopy. No specialist installation or commissioning is required — only a supply of dry compressed air. Optional features include an oxygen sensor and an economizer valve set — which uses two differential pressure valves to cut off the nitrogen supply to avoid wasting power and can lead to a dramatic increase in savings.

　　The packages also include Atlas Copco’s range of oil-injected screw air compressors, which offer high efficiency, low noise, and small footprint to ensure the packages can be fitted just about anywhere.
