If you consistently use argon gas for welding or casting throughout the month and are going through more than 20 cylinders, your inventory management is probably complex. You also run a higher risk of contamination and wasting more gas than necessary. A more cost-effective way to minimize these issues is to install a microbulk argon gas system from Meritus Gas Partners for your business.
Microbulk is a small or miniature bulk gas storage system. It uses Perma-Cyl tanks, which are low-pressure, stainless steel storage tanks available in sizes from 500 to 5,000 liters. It is a permanent fixture on your property, and when it needs filling, one of our microbulk trucks will do it on-site.
With metered delivery, we optimize for on-site filling, which takes minutes. You won’t need to change out any tanks, worry about disposal or have any downtime.
Perma-Cyl containers hold gas for longer than standard liquid cylinders, and you use all the argon gas you purchase, giving you more value for your money. Microbulk systems also use a telemetry monitoring system that allows you to view your data online. Additionally, it automatically alerts us when the container is nearing its refill point.
We can then dispatch a refill delivery, which will attach to your outside tamper-resistant fill box to ensure we can deliver gas around the clock and your gas supply remains steady.
A microbulk system works well for any business that uses gases such as argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and liquefied natural gas (LNG). These systems are standard across many manufacturing industries, such as precision welding, metal fabrication, food and beverage packaging, and electronics manufacturing.
Using a microbulk solution for your argon storage is excellent for small to medium-sized businesses that want a more permanent storage solution but don’t want to invest in a large-scale system.
Regular inspections, following safety protocols and ensuring temperature monitoring and pressure management are best practices for maintaining an argon storage system. Regulations from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and others are critical for maintaining safety in argon storage.
Meritus Gas Partners always prioritizes safety, and we follow all necessary regulations during installation, inspection and refilling.
Here are some benefits of using microbulk for argon storage.
Meritus Gas Partners will deliver directly to your facility. We will install a concrete pad so that our tractor-trailer-sized unit can deliver the gas straight to you. We can perform a site survey to determine the best unit size and provide you with a proposal.
