Never Worry About Your Gas Supply Again

Our customers come to us because they're tired of unreliable suppliers who don't keep promises, deliver tanks only 80% full, and disappear when emergencies happen. We're different.

The Old Way (Tank Swapping)

  • Tanks filled at supplier location, then transported
  • Lose up to 20% volume due to evaporation in transit
  • Tanks jostled and damaged during transport
  • Your clean lab tank goes to dirty welding shops, then back to you—cross-contamination risk you can't control
  • No credit for liquid you paid for but can't access
  • Unreliable delivery schedules
  • Suppliers who don't answer emergency calls

The Nitrex Way (On-Site Filling)

  • We fill your tanks 100% full at your location
  • Zero evaporation loss during transport
  • Your tanks never leave your facility—zero contamination risk from other customers' environments
  • You get exactly what you pay for
  • Proactive monitoring and automatic refills
  • 2-hour phone/text response guarantee with $1,000 penalty*

*Emergency response guarantee applies to existing customers only. For details, see our FAQ page.
