Production Engineer

About Purity Gas Inc.

Purity Gas is a results-oriented team of professionals driven by passion for innovation, continuous improvement and collaboration. We disrupt the multi-billion-dollar nitrogen gas market with state-of-the-art technology that allows commercial & industrial gas users to reliably, safely and cost-effectively produce their own supply of gaseous nitrogen in-house and on-demand, for a fraction of the cost of buying nitrogen from third-party gas suppliers.

Our cutting-edge NITROCENTER® solutions offer a compelling value proposition to industrial and commercial nitrogen gas users, primarily through the capability to produce nitrogen gas on demand, often at a staggering 90% cost reduction compared to conventional bulk nitrogen gas delivery methods. However, the advantages extend far beyond financial savings. Our nitrogen generation technology prioritizes environmental sustainability by minimizing energy consumption during production and eliminating the necessity for nitrogen gas transportation via traditional means, such as transport trucks. This approach not only reduces carbon footprint but also enhances operational efficiency, aligning with our commitment to responsible and sustainable operations.

At Purity Gas, our culture is defined by collaboration, motivation, and adaptability, creating an environment that inspires both our team members and partners alike. We prioritize a work culture that not only fosters excitement but also remains responsive to the diverse needs of our clients, partners, and employees. Our greatest asset lies in our positive, goal-focused team, whose dedication drives us towards collective success, innovation, and growth.
