As nitrogen prices climbed and delivery delays became increasingly common, Donovan Group were eager to find an on-site solution. Find out more about the solution we provided below.
As the price of nitrogen gas escalated and supply shortages exacerbated the problem, Donovan Group was forced to pause their laser cutting services. This led to production issues, extra costs, and significant amount of operational downtime.
They decided to find a more reliable nitrogen supply, conducting an extensive evaluation of their current supply compared with an on-site generator. Having researched other companies, they opted to partner with Industrial Air Systems for our expertise in nitrogen generation for laser cutting.
Donovan Group wanted an on-site nitrogen generator on a rental basis. Based on cost evaluations, this would provide real-time cost savings and production gains, without spending capital in an uncertain economy. Our team designed a customised nitrogen generation system, packaged independently for rentable supply and tailored to the client's requirements.
Industrial Air Systems provided an on-site Nitropak generation package, housed in a standalone container. This fully containerised package delivers 15m3/h of pure N2 gas at up to 300bar pressure. This configuration keeps the laser cutter running efficiently, with 240m3 gas storage for peace of mind.
Designed for rental, the package was ready-commissioned and plug-and-play. This makes it easy for Donovan Group to make the most of the system, without committing to a purchase. There were good savings to be had and, with a guaranteed on-site supply, the rental option was a no-brainer.
