<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings to All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing because we are being challenged, like everyone, to reduce our cost for research. We are considering other options for our Nitrogen gas source including a Nitrogen generator due to the recent cost increase of LN2. We are currently
using a 2-tank system which supplies both the liquid and gaseous nitrogen to our facility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are averaging 80 to 90 SCFM of utility nitrogen and 6 -7 SCFM of High Purity Nitrogen. We would continue to maintain our liquid nitrogen supply.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please provide your positive and negative experiences with Nitrogen generators as well as the manufacturer of the unit. All comments/suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance for your input.<o:p></o:p></p>
