The Impact: <p>Prevents nitrogen wastage during gas cylinder changeover due to venting. Recycles ambient air rather than requiring the need for specalised gas production. Also gas cylinders require delivery, thus creating emissions.</p>
Details
All instruments require nitrogen supply. In some laboratories it may be suitable for each instrument to have a nitrogen generator rather than a direct nitrogen supply from cylinders or dewars. However some instruments require a large and constant nitrogen supply meaning generators do not provide sufficient supply.
