What are Emission Limits?
Industrial emission limits define the maximum levels of dust, vapors, odors, and other pollutants that manufacturers are allowed to release into the environment. These limits are governed by strict regional and international regulations, such as: the EU’s BAT (Best Available Techniques) Conclusions and the Dutch “Omgevingswet” with continuous tightening as sustainability and public health priorities grow.
Why Comply with Emission Limits?
Non-compliance carries serious risks: legal penalties, production shutdowns, reputational damage, and lost competitiveness. Meeting these limits isn’t just about ticking a regulatory box it’s about future-proofing your operations and supporting a sustainable business strategy.
The Challenge for Modern Manufacturers
Evolving Regulations:Â Emission limits are regularly reviewed and made stricter, especially for particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and greenhouse gases.
Complex Processes: Emissions can originate from many sources—some obvious, others diffuse or process-integrated.
Measurement & Control:Â Maintaining control and demonstrating compliance in dynamic, high-throughput industrial environments is technically demanding.
Integration Without Disruption:Â Abatement systems must work seamlessly with existing processes delivering results without impacting safety, throughput, or costs.
How to comply with emission limits while saving energy at the same time
Industrial Systems used for Emission Control
By delivering advanced air treatment systems specifically engineered for emission control, we eliminate harmful pollutants and particulate matter before they are released into the environment. Our solutions efficiently capture ultra-fine particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), significantly reducing their impact on outdoor air quality. For example:
Dust Collection System
Vapor & Fumes Extraction System

Emission Limits
Post-installation, we conduct on-site measurements and validation testing to demonstrate that the installed system achieves the required emission limits, as specified under local or EU law.
Our solution is engineered for seamless integration with your existing processes and equipment. During the Pre-Engineering Study, we thoroughly map your current setup. Including process flows, emission points, space constraints, and utility connections to design a system that fits into your operations with minimal disruption. Mechanical, electrical, and automation interfaces are tailored as needed for compatibility. Our team coordinates closely with your engineering and production staff throughout design, installation, and commissioning to ensure smooth physical and digital integration—maximizing process continuity and minimizing downtime.
Our Pre-Engineering Study delivers a detailed assessment of your facility’s emissions, identifies critical sources, and models abatement options using advanced tools. You receive concrete advice, performance projections, and a business case for tailored emission control solutions. All backed by real process data and proven engineering.
Our remote monitoring services provide real-time tracking of your emissions, immediate alerts for deviations, and automated reporting. This ensures continuous compliance, simplifies record-keeping for audits, and supports rapid action if conditions change or regulations tighten.
Yes, JOA provides full support during both commissioning and validation testing. Our engineers are present on-site to oversee system installation, perform functional checks, and fine-tune all settings for optimal performance. We conduct validation measurements to confirm that emission limits are met and document all results for regulatory compliance. This hands-on approach ensures your new system is operating as designed and delivers the guaranteed emission reductions from day one.
