ROI has a lot to do with what we call yield or the amount of nitrogen that is generated from your nitrogen generator. This means that the more yield you generate, the more money you can make. What is the ROI of an on-site nitrogen generator? It really depends on how much you want to run off your nitrogen generator. However, since you will be paying for whatever you generate and not only the fuel, the ROI should be roughly the same whether you use tap water or diesel fuel.
If you generate enough surplus electricity, then the excess electricity could be sold back to the power company for a profit. So, when you calculate the value of your nitrogen generator, you may find that you are actually receiving a return on investment for years to come. That’s why some people are eager to invest in a nitrogen generator even when they don’t think they’ll ever use it. However, when you figure out the costs per kilowatt-hour to run a diesel-powered generator at a similar output, it turns out that the electricity generation device is a waste of money.
There is one question, you may find that is more difficult to answer. How can an on-site nitrogen generator, which costs less than diesel, be considered as a “better” investment? Depending on your definition of better, it may not be better than a diesel generator. The main thing to remember is that you must subtract the price of fuel from the ROI. Once you’ve determined how much energy you are losing due to fuel consumption, then you can determine how much better it is to invest in an on-site nitrogen generator.
