On-site nitrogen and oxygen generator rental and purchase
Two ways to bring nitrogen or oxygen generation on-site: one with no upfront investment, the other entirely yours. Both cost less than a lifetime of buying gas cylinders. If you are paying a monthly bill for cylinders or bulk liquid gas, you are already financing a generator—you just do not own it yet. The only question is how you prefer to make the switch.

Rental or purchase: where to start
The choice between rental and purchase is not simply a question of equipment price—it is a question of your consumption profile and investment horizon. If your gas demand is stable and long-term, purchasing delivers the lowest cost per cubic metre over the equipment’s lifetime. If your demand is growing or still stabilising, or if you prefer to preserve capital, rental puts the gas generation on-site without a capital purchase and with maintenance included.
In both cases, you stop buying gas cylinders, which are almost always the most expensive of the three options.
Rental: gas on-site, without the upfront investment.
Rental places a Briskfil generator at your facility without the need for a capital purchase. You pay a fixed monthly fee, while we own and take responsibility for the equipment. Your nitrogen or oxygen is always available, sized to meet the needs of your operation rather than being dependent on a delivery schedule.
It is the fastest and lowest-risk way to stop relying on cylinders or bulk liquid gas.
What rental gives you
- No upfront investment. No large initial purchase and no financing to arrange. Your capital stays in the business.
- Operating expense, not capital expenditure. A predictable monthly cost instead of a one-time investment. Easier to approve and easier to budget for.
- Maintenance included. Service, parts, and performance are our responsibility, not yours. The equipment is kept in optimal condition because it remains ours.
- Right-sized and scalable. If your demand grows or changes, the system can adapt with you.
- A clean break from cylinders. No deliveries, no empty cylinders, no cylinder rental fees, and no running out of gas halfway through a shift.
- Prove it before you commit. Rental is a way to demonstrate that on-site gas generation works for your process before deciding whether you want to own a system.
Rental is right for you if: your demand is growing or still stabilising · you prefer to preserve capital · you want to move away from cylinders quickly · the project needs to be an operating expense rather than a capital investment · you want someone else to take responsibility for the equipment and its maintenance.
Purchase: the equipment is yours, with the lowest cost per cubic meter
When your gas demand is stable and long-term, owning the generator is the cheapest way to produce it. There is no monthly fee. Once the system is paid for, it produces gas for little more than the cost of the electricity required to run it.
What purchasing gives you
- Lowest lifetime cost. Owning becomes cheaper than any other way of getting gas, whether bottles, bulk, or rental.
- The asset is yours. It stays on your balance sheet and retains value as long as you operate it correctly.
- Total control. Your system, your facilities, your schedule, with no rental terms and no return conditions.
- Guaranteed performance over time. Ownership goes hand in hand with Briskfil maintenance plan., so that the system continues to perform just like the day it was commissioned.
Buying suits you if the demand is stable and long-term · the goal is to achieve the lowest possible cost per cubic meter · ownership of the asset is preferred over a monthly subscription · capital is available, and the return justifies the investment.
Rental and purchase of compressors and compressed air systems
In addition to nitrogen and oxygen generators, we provide compressors and compressed air stations under rental and purchase arrangements. Rental addresses seasonal production peaks, planned shutdowns, and temporary replacement during a breakdown, with equipment on site at short notice. Purchase makes sense when consumption is permanent and the equipment becomes part of the plant’s infrastructure.
In either arrangement, we size the system by measuring actual consumption, not by estimate.
| Rental and purchase | Rental | Purchase |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Zero to minimal | Full system cost |
| Accounting treatment | Operational cost, OpEx | Capital asset, CapEx |
| Maintenance | Included | Through a maintenance plan |
| Long-term cost | Higher after many years | Lower cost per cubic meter |
| Sizing flexibility | High, follows demand | Fixed to what was purchased |
| Equipment ownership | Briskfil | The client |
| Who bears the equipment risk | Briskfil | The client |
| Best when... | Demand is growing, uncertain, or capital needs to be preserved | Demand is stable, long-term, and lower cost is desired |
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the stability of your demand and your investment horizon. If your gas demand is stable and long-term, purchasing offers the lowest cost per m³ over the lifetime of the equipment. If demand is still growing or stabilizing, or if you prefer to preserve capital, renting brings gas on-site with no upfront investment and with maintenance included. In both cases, you stop buying cylinders — which is almost always the most expensive option of the three.
No, or very little. That is the goal of renting: having on-site nitrogen or oxygen generation without a capital purchase. You pay a fixed, predictable monthly fee, and the equipment and its maintenance are Briskfil’s responsibility.
Talk to us about your situation. Renting is often the best way to prove that on-site generation works for your process before deciding if you want to own the equipment. If your demand stabilizes and buying starts to make sense, we will structure the transition with you.
In facilities with high consumption, the return on investment for a generator is typically under twelve months. The exact value depends on your current consumption, the price you pay today for cylinders or bulk liquid gas, and the operating pattern. A free audit quantifies the payback for your specific case before any decision is made.
By measurement, not by estimation. Before any proposal, Briskfil analyzes your actual consumption, demand profile, and the purity required by your process. This is what avoids the most expensive mistake in on-site gas generation — oversizing the system and paying for capacity you never use, or undersizing it and running out of gas in the middle of a shift.
