Get the compressed air, nitrogen, or oxygen your operation needs without purchasing and maintaining the equipment.

Ingersoll Rand designs, manufactures, installs, monitors, and maintains the complete system. You receive reliable compressed air, nitrogen, or oxygen through one managed solution, backed by local service and more than 150 years of experience.

What Is Managed Air & Gas Solutions?

Managed air and gas solutions provides the compressed air, nitrogen or oxygen your operation needs without requiring you to purchase, operate or maintain the equipment. We learn how your plant uses air or gas, then design, install, monitor, and maintain a complete system built around your requirements.

You get a dependable supply at the flow, pressure and purity your process requires, with one Ingersoll Rand team accountable for the equipment and service behind it.

  • Eliminate or significantly reduce upfront capital investment
  • Create a more predictable operating expense
  • Fully outsource equipment maintenance and covered repairs
  • Improve reliability through OEM-certified preventive maintenance and remote monitoring
  • Access local, factory-trained service support
  • Adapt the solution as production needs change

This approach is also known as air over the fence, compressed air as a service, utility air, gas over the fence, or industrial utility supply.

When Managed Air & Gas Solutions Makes Sense

Capital is limited

Your plant needs new capacity or replacement equipment, but a major equipment purchase is not available or would delay the project.

Uptime is critical

Air or gas interruptions can stop production, and your operation needs a system designed with appropriate redundancy, monitoring and maintenance.

Your team wants fewer assets to manage

Rotating equipment must be maintained correctly to perform reliably. Ingersoll Rand takes responsibility for the equipment, service planning and covered repairs.

Demand changes with production

Your air or gas requirements may be stable, seasonal or growing. We configure the system around the demand of your operation and adapt the solution as those needs change.

You are short on air or facing a schedule constraint

An engineered packaged solution may provide a practical path when capacity is urgent or facility expansion and permitting would delay a conventional installation.

Bulk gas costs are rising

On-site nitrogen or oxygen generation can avoid costs associated with delivery, tank rental and recurring supplier surcharges.

A third-party utility provider is already being considered

Managed solutions deliver the same outcome: the air or gas your operation needs without owning or maintaining equipment. Get support from the manufacturer and a nationwide network of local service professionals.

Start with What Your Operation Needs

Every operation is different. We assess your output, operating profile and site needs to design the right solution.

On-Site Nitrogen and Oxygen Generation as a Service

For many plants, nitrogen and oxygen are essential production utilities. Ingersoll Rand can generate the gas on site without requiring your team to purchase and manage the complete system.

With no major upfront capital investment, on-site generation can begin reducing the avoidable costs associated with bulk transfer, tank leasing, deliveries, and supplier surcharges from day one. Depending on the application, the complete system can include:

  • Air compressors sized for the required load
  • Dryers and air treatment to protect gas generation performance

  • Membrane or PSA nitrogen generation selected for the required flow and purity
  • Oxygen generation equipment for the application
  • Controls, instrumentation and remote monitoring
  • Redundancy designed around the required utility supply
  • Local preventive maintenance, service and covered repairs

Monitoring is part of the solution, not an add-on. The system can track critical conditions such as inlet pressure, dew point, gas purity, outlet pressure, and flow, so performance issues can be identified before they affect production.
