I’ve always used nitrogen generators with no issue. If you have building
compressed air, PEAKS has a unit without compressor, nice and quiet.

tank that a truck filled. No dewars to store, move, maintain, worry about
emptying, and no large amounts of dangerous cryogens stored inside in
earthquake country. But, a nitrogen generator is not bad solution either and
not horrible to maintain as long as you budget for it. Getting the house air
compressor to a high enough level to drive the generator can be a hassle in
some facilities. I ended up w slightly under ideal pressure system in some
places. Dont love sharing the air supply feeding the generator with every lab
bench air valve in the building.
