Managed Production Solutions

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.

The Problem: Equipment Ownership Gets Expensive

Owning your own air compressor and gas generation equipment is great if you like to be in control. But that control comes at a cost.

There’s the upfront cost of buying and installing the equipment. Then there are the ongoing maintenance demands, the man-hours needed to support it, and the unexpected repair costs when something goes wrong.

And if your facility’s needs change, you may be left with equipment that no longer keeps up with demand or no longer fits your operation. Then the process starts all over again.

High upfront cost
Ongoing maintenance demands
Unexpected repair costs
Less flexibility

You need a reliable supply of compressed air, nitrogen or oxygen. But that doesn’t mean you need to own and manage all the equipment behind it.

What is Managed Production Solutions?

Ingersoll Rand Managed Production 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 with one fixed cost
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 Production 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.

Why Choose Ingersoll Rand for Managed Production Solutions?

More Than 150 Years of Equipment Experience

We’ve been designing and supporting industrial equipment for more than 150 years. That experience matters when you need the equipment behind your air or gas supply to operate reliably every single day.

One Partner for the Complete System

Because Ingersoll Rand manufactures the equipment, we can bring compressors or gas generation equipment, air treatment, chillers, controls, monitoring and service together in one complete system built around your site.

OEM Expertise with Local Support

Your system is backed by Ingersoll Rand equipment expertise, remote performance monitoring and local service professionals across the country who can help keep it performing as intended.

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.

Compressed Air as a Managed Utility

Whether you need new capacity, need to replace an aging system, or want an alternative to equipment ownership, managed air solutions provides the compressed air your operation requires. Ingersoll Rand configures the complete system around your required output and supports it with air treatment, controls, monitoring, and local service.
