About This Job

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.
