Reduce change-outs and improve productivity with Praxair’s microbulk gas delivery system
As your business grows, so does your need for a gas supply system with greater capacity. When single cylinders are not enough, packs and portable liquid vessels are a good choice for increased volume and reduced changeouts. And when site and business conditions permit, a microbulk system is an even better choice that can reduce change-outs, reduce costs and improve productivity. An innovative on-site solution, Praxair’s microbulk gas delivery system provides unique advantages that improve efficiency and raise your bottom line – all while ensuring an uninterrupted supply of high quality gas for your business.
Improve productivity and reduce downtime
With a microbulk system, there are no cylinder exchanges. Your tank remains on-site and a microbulk truck refills your tank as needed— without the downtime associated with changeouts. In addition to gaining employee efficiency from the time previously spent with cylinder change-outs and handling, the cost of the liquid product in the microbulk system versus the gaseous form will help your budget.
Eliminate concerns with gas inventory and product outages
Praxair’s telemetry system electronically monitors and reports tank inventory levels to our logistics center 24/7 and automatically schedules on-time deliveries. The system features an LCD readout that indicates current status and provides accurate product level readings within +/- 0.10”.
No major changes needed at your existing site
The microbulk gas delivery system is easily integrated into day-to-day operations with minimal disruption to your business. A microbulk system does not require the extensive site preparation and associated costs of a traditional bulk system. A microbulk system can be installed nearly anywhere at your facility with appropriate safeguards in place.
Microbulk does more to help you grow your business
More productivity from an uninterrupted supply of gas, more efficient accounting and ordering, minimal inventory maintenance and gas offerings that include nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide: Day-in, day-out, the microbulk gas delivery system provides more ways to help you grow your business.
Comparison between common cylinder cluster and microbulk tanks capacity
The difference is easy to see – more gas without the handling and change-outs.
