ALL OF THE HIDDEN COSTS OF GAS CYLINDERS

all of the hidden costs of gas cylinders

Throughout the years, high-pressure gas cylinders have been used by many manufacturers in delivering gases to equipment. While this method of gas transportation has been accepted and passed down through the industry, many manufacturers may be unaware of the hidden costs that gas cylinders bring on.

When factoring in the potential risks and operations that come with compressed gas cylinder applications, costs begin to add up fast. This could result in a significant increase in overall manufacturing facility operational expenses. In a recent blog post, Parker lists some possible costs that manufacturers may be unaware of in a variety of categories, including:

Safety
Labor
Administrative
Infrastructure
Operational

When considering the build-up of operational costs, risks and extra labor associated with gas cylinders, manufacturers may want to consider other options, like an in-house gas generation system. It’s important to be aware of any hidden or extra costs that could be hurting your company. Familiarizing yourself with new methods of delivering gas can lead to major savings and benefits in the future.
