How to Select the Correct Mode of Gas Supply

When it comes to industrial gas, you have many storage options. Finding the right method for your use is key: cylinders, cradles, dewars, micro-bulk and bulk all have their own unique benefits. But no matter how much gas you're looking for, there’s always optimal solutions out there that will keep operations running smoothly so businesses can maximize productivity without breaking the bank.

With so many options to pick from, how do you know what's right for your business? Many companies start out basing their selection based on their current utilization but its common to out-grow your supply as your business evolves. Companies should be careful to not base their current gas supply on yesterday's needs.

There are key indicators that show when a company needs a new supply mode. These include:
  • needing frequent deliveries (typically more than once a week)
  • questionable reliability like run outs which can shut down production
  • excessive cylinder handling  for change outs 

It is often helpful to get suppliers involved when determining which mode of supply will be best for your business, as they can offer helpful advice and expertise. They will be able to help identify your pain points and determine a plan to resolve them with solutions such as increased supply through utilizing cradles, micro-bulk or bulk systems or adding telemetry monitoring systems. When making a change to your gas supply process, be sure to factor in costs associated with the transition process and the time needed for a transition.

Consider these four questions when determining which mode of gas supply will be best for your business: where will my business be in two years? Five years? What effect will this have quality of products and impact of labor? What are long-term costs? Are there quality or efficiency impacts to supplying that can be quantified? 

Choosing the proper mode of supply for your industrial gas can lead to increased efficiencies and safety, and decreased cost and aggravation. And don't forget that Earlbeck Gases will conduct a complimentary analysis of your gas use and application to help you increase your bottom line by optimizing your processes.
