What is a Pre-Engineering Study
A Pre-Engineering Study lays the groundwork for substantial upgrades or new systems in emission control, energy efficiency, and workplace safety at your industrial site. By engaging in a comprehensive evaluation before implementing changes, JOA Air Solutions ensures that every modification is perfectly tailored to your specific needs, thereby maximizing operational efficiency and compliance.
Why opt for a Pre-Engineering Study?
A pre-engineering study evaluates an industrial site before major upgrades, focusing on emission control, energy efficiency, and safety. This step identifies optimal improvements and technologies, ensuring efficient operations and environmental compliance.
Data-driven Decisions
Base your facility upgrades on accurate measurements and detailed Air Technical Modeling, eliminating guesswork for assured successful outcomes.
Guaranteed Outcomes
Receive process guarantees that offer certainty in performance improvements and regulatory compliance.
Informed Investments
Make financially sound decisions with a clear understanding of the costs and benefits associated with your facility’s upgrades.
Tailored to your requirements
Don’t settle for standard equipment that either extracts too much or too little to be efficient. At JOA, we believe that every larger or complex industrial process deserves a tailored extraction system.

Pre-Engineering Study
A. A Pre-Engineering Study is always tailored to your specific requirements. JOA Engineers will visit your site, take measurements and gather input for Air Technical Modeling. Based on the data, calculations are made on flow rate, energy recovery, velocities, ROI and more. During a 50% meeting, we update you on our findings and align expectations before finalizing a concept design and budget quotation.

Generally, a Pre-Engineering Study can be conducted within 2-3 months. We ask you for input regarding P&ID, photo’s or videos, layout drawings, access to the site and sometimes interviews with the operators. Depending on the scale of the project, we need 1 or 2 days on-site. Our goal is to limit the time you need before completing the study.
Sometimes, new clients are hesitant to conducting a Pre-Engineering study. Experiences from the past where an external ‘consultant’ came and wrote down findings you already know about are not helpful. Our goal is to exceed expectations as it gives us the opportunity to show our skills and expertise to also provide the best possible solution to your emission control or energy recovery challenges.
Only in very rare cases we are able to come up with a suitable solution without first gain a thorough understanding of your site and processes. There are many suppliers of standardized equipment. JOA differentiates itself by diving deeper and create tailor-made solutions, optimizing your sites performance.
