This customer had historically used liquid nitrogen within their processes, and found themselves in the unfortunate position.
When renegotiating their LIN contract renewal with their supplier, that LIN pricing was increasing 2.5 times, as well as further uncertainty that their volume requirements could even be met going forward. They were left with 60 days to find an alternate solution.
Ash Air have, for a number of years, maintained the compressed air systems for a customer operating within the dairy industry.
This customer had historically used liquid nitrogen within their processes, and found themselves in the unfortunate position, when renegotiating their LIN contract renewal with their supplier, that LIN pricing was increasing 2.5 times, as well as further uncertainty that their volume requirements could even be met going forward. They were left with 60 days to find an alternate solution.
The solution:
Ash Air were tasked to size a suitable on-site nitrogen generation system, allowing them independence from third party supply, and an
overall saving to their production costs.
Due to the urgency of the project, a Pneumatech PSA unit was air freighted from Europe.
Local engineering work immediately began on a 40β high cube shipping container to house the new standalone system, including
ventilation, ducting and AIRnet pipework.
An ALUP IVR compressor, dryer and ancillary equipment were selected to accompany the nitrogen generator and ensure optimum performance,
reliability and energy savings.
Installation and commissioning of the containerized solution was achieved 48 days from initial project commencement, resulting in the
customer avoiding having to sign the exorbitant new LIN contract.
The net result was a ROI of less than 7 months for the customer, independence from third party supply with full control of their
production capacity, reduced environmental impact of truck deliveries of LIN, an energy efficient solution and an overall saving to their
production costs.

On-site generation offers convincing benefits compared to liquid or gaseous N2 deliveries.
1. Cost efficiency
Producing your own nitrogen with the purity you need allows you to significantly reduce your cost
of gas
2. Sustainability
Eliminate the transport emissions that nitrogen deliveries generate. In addition, Pneumatechβs
on-site generation solutions are super efficient, minimizing your energy use and your environmental footprint.
3. A reliable nitrogen supply
No need to count on external vendors. On-site generation gives you complete control over
your nitrogen supply.
4. No logistics
Say goodbye to always monitoring your N2 supply, working with vendors, and tracking
and handling deliveries.
Empower your operations with the intelligent choice of producing nitrogen on-site. Opting for an on-site nitrogen generator in New Zealand is a superior, cost-efficient, and sustainable alternative to traditional gas deliveries. Switch from Liquid Nitrogen to On-Site Generation and Cut Your Operating Cost Down.
PSA technology
Utilizing PSA technology, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) effectively isolates nitrogen from compressed air by utilizing adsorbent
materials. By passing the air through a vessel containing Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS), the oxygen is captured, allowing only nitrogen of
up to 99.999% purity to exit. PSA generators are well-suited for applications requiring high-flow and high-purity nitrogen.
