Summary

A cheese processing and packaging facility that uses carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas in its daily operations needed an efficient and reliable source of nitrogen. Its current gas supplier has high costs and does not provide consistent purities or blends. Because of trust in the Parker brand as ell as the relationship with RJM sales, an energy efficient and cost-effective DB-10 Nitrogen Generator was installed.

Challenge

The company was growing rapidly and needed to capitalize on the efficiency and cost of their production. The existing method of using a dewar supplier for their nitrogen gas needs was becoming impractical. Nitrogen dewars have unpredictable purity levels, blends can negatively affect production, and are cost prohibitive. A solution was needed to maximize the growth of their business.

Because the company was previously a sterile air filtration customer, adopting a nitrogen generator was discussed 3-4 years prior. This led to the ultimate decision to install a DB-10 Nitrogen Generator in 2022.

Solution

When creating onsite nitrogen, purity is analyzed directly and can easily be adjusted between 95% - 99.999% with the generator's flow control valve. Working with a Parker distributor, the nitrogen generator that best fit the company's needs was specified and installed at the facility: a DB-10 Nitrogen Generator.

Not only did the integration of the on-site nitrogen generator provide consistency, but it also brought forth substantial savings with a Return on Investment (ROI) of under 3 years. Now that the company has a reliable nitrogen gas source, they can continue to grow their business without setbacks.
