Case Study: New Jersey HBOT Ends $40,000/Year in Oxygen Deliveries — After $60,000 Already Spent on Fire-Code Upgrades
New Jersey HBOT (Oxygen NJ) in Florham Park, New Jersey — founded by Dr. Jason Sonners — is one of the state's earliest and longest-standing hyperbaric facilities. Before switching to ON2, the clinic was spending about $40,000 per year on delivered oxygen and going through roughly 60 tanks of oxygen every single week — and had already spent an estimated $60,000 on facility upgrades to meet fire-code requirements tied to that stored-cylinder inventory. An ON2 Aura 80 O₂ Plant replaced the delivery contract and eliminated the weekly tank traffic — and had the system been installed first, that $60,000 build-out would never have been needed. This page covers the economics and operations only.
Before: $40,000 a year and 60 tanks through the door every week
Delivered oxygen is never just the price on the invoice. At roughly $40,000 per year, New Jersey HBOT's oxygen bill was a permanent operating expense that scaled with usage — and the logistics came with it: about 60 high-pressure tanks moving through the facility each week, every week. That means recurring deliveries to receive and check in, full and empty cylinders to stage and store, and staff time spent swapping and handling tanks instead of running the clinic.
Stored cylinders triggered a $60,000 fire-code upgrade
Storing that volume of high-pressure oxygen cylinders on site triggered facility requirements under fire code, and the clinic had already spent an estimated $60,000 on upgrades to remain compliant with its stored-cylinder inventory. To be clear: the clinic did the right thing and met the code. The point is that the spend was avoidable — an ON2 system produces oxygen on demand from ambient air and stores well below the 300-cubic-foot NFPA 99 threshold that triggers those requirements (about 100 cubic feet, stored at only 130 psi). Had on-site generation been installed first, that $60,000 build-out would never have been required.
After: on-site generation, no deliveries
With the ON2 Aura 80 O₂ Plant running, the delivery contract and the weekly 60-tank routine are gone. Oxygen is generated on site, on demand, for the cost of electricity and routine maintenance. The clinic's owner also reports a marked improvement for staff: no more receiving deliveries, handling cylinders, or working around tank storage. With the ~$40,000 annual delivery spend eliminated, the system paid for itself quickly — and facilities that adopt on-site generation before building out cylinder storage also avoid the kind of $60,000 compliance expense this clinic had already incurred.
About Dr. Jason Sonners
Dr. Jason Sonners, DC, PhD, founded New Jersey HBOT and HBOT USA and has spent nearly two decades operating hyperbaric facilities. He develops and teaches formal certification and safety training programs for clinicians and hyperbaric technicians, teaches them internationally, and is a published author in the field. After evaluating alternatives to weekly tank deliveries for his own facility, he selected the ON2 Aura 80 O₂ Plant.
A capital model built for operators
ON2 offers both direct purchase and a 5-year lease so you can match the chamber to your facility's budget instead of the other way around. Leasing turns a large up-front purchase into a predictable monthly line item, which keeps working capital free for staffing, build-out, and marketing. Either way you own the equipment relationship with a single manufacturer — install, parts, and service all run through ON2.
Install and service handled end to end
Every ON2 Aura HBOT system ships with professional installation, operator orientation, and an ongoing service plan. Our team coordinates site assessment, delivery, placement, and commissioning so your space is ready to operate, and preventative-maintenance scheduling keeps the chamber in service with minimal downtime.

Frequently asked questions
How much was the clinic spending on oxygen before switching to ON2?
New Jersey HBOT reports it was spending about $40,000 per year on delivered oxygen, going through roughly 60 tanks of oxygen every week, before installing an ON2 on-site oxygen system.
What was the $60,000 fire-code upgrade about?
The clinic's stored high-pressure cylinder inventory triggered fire-code facility requirements, and the clinic had already spent an estimated $60,000 on upgrades to stay compliant. An ON2 system stores well below the 300-cubic-foot NFPA 99 threshold that triggers those requirements (about 100 cubic feet, at only 130 psi) — so had it been installed first, that spend would never have been required.
Who chose the ON2 system for this clinic?
Dr. Jason Sonners, DC, PhD — founder of New Jersey HBOT and HBOT USA, and a leading educator who runs certification and safety training programs for hyperbaric clinicians and technicians internationally. He selected the ON2 Aura 80 O₂ Plant for his own facility after looking for a safer, more modern alternative to weekly tank deliveries.
Can we lease instead of buying outright?
Yes. ON2 offers a 5-year lease alongside direct purchase so you can spread the cost into predictable monthly payments and keep working capital available. We'll walk you through both options on a single quote.
Do you handle installation and ongoing service?
Yes. Pricing includes professional installation, operator orientation, and a service plan. We coordinate site assessment, delivery, placement, and commissioning, then keep the chamber maintained on a preventative schedule.
