Return on investment calculator

Gas generator vs. gas cylinders

 

ROI calculator - Take control of your budget

Calculate your savings and your amortization period

Rising energy costs, sustainability and availability are important issues these days. An alternative to gas cylinders are our own gas generators, which ensure your laboratory's needs are met at all times with more cost-effective and sustainable gases produced on site.

Chromalytic gas generators are designed to maximize performance and efficiency while reducing costs and environmental impact.

To show you the cost savings of our appliances compared to gas cylinders, we have set up a return on investment (ROI) calculator.

The amortization calculator compares the costs of gas cylinders with our gas generators and shows you the amortization period and the potential savings over a period of 5 years in real time. Our ROI calculator thus supports you in the decision-making process regarding the purchase of a sustainable gas generator.

How to use the ROI calculator?

Our amortization calculator for the return on investment of gas generators offers you a comparison between gas cylinders and different Chromalytic models depending on your personal use and application.

 

 

What are the variables?

1st application

You can currently use the calculator for LC-MS applications. Other applications such as GC and incubators will follow.

2. monthly costs for gas cylinders

Gas cylinders vary in volume and need to be replaced regularly. In addition to delivery, rental and replacement costs, gas cylinders have a lot of hidden costs, such as user training, safety protocols and environmental charges. Please enter your total monthly costs when using gas cylinders.

For example, an LC-MS instrument in a typical analytical laboratory works almost 8 hours per day, requiring an average flow rate of 20 l/min and using 25-30 cylinders to cover this consumption. At first glance, you might think that using cylinders is cheaper than a nitrogen generator, but each cylinder requires at least 10-15 minutes of time to be safely exchanged, so an additional 5-6 hours are required each month for exchange.

3. gas generator

Select one of our models with or without a compressor here. Depending on the model selected, the purchase costs for such a generator and the maintenance costs incurred, such as the annual filter change or compressor maintenance for models with a compressor, vary.

4. currency

Select the desired currency here.

What are the results?

The result is the amortization period in months. The payback period is the time it takes for the savings from using a gas generator to offset the higher purchase costs compared to the running costs for gas cylinders.

In addition, the savings are shown over a period of 5 years.
