Recently Compressed Gas Technologies worked with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of refrigerators (Whirlpool) to find ways to reduce their nitrogen consumption.
After a meeting with the staff and a thorough review all of the processes that utilized nitrogen throughout the plant was implemented, CGT was able to find ways for Whirlpool to save a significant amount of money in regards to their nitrogen consumption.
We are able to eliminate areas where nitrogen was being misapplied. Reduced weekly consumption by over 30,000 cf with a yearly savings of $17,000. By eliminating the inefficient high pressure nitrogen system that was no longer needed for laser cutting, reducing the nitrogen consumption by 50%. Estimated savings were $50,000.
And we also recommended the installation of a nitrogen generator with a high pressure booster, with 100% redundancy, for pressure testing of coils. This would eliminate the need for bulk liquid nitrogen. The payback is expected to take less than 2 years. The changes made in the plant were very small but the financial rewards were huge.
