Engineering Studies

Rely on us to perform studies on airflow for printing, surface coating, and other applications. These studies focus on the proper airflow movement as it relates to the proper balancing of these processes. These include ventilation systems, close capture hoods, floor sweeps, permanent total enclosures, and re-circulation and cascading of existing air flows and odor reduction.


Studies of our clients' process enable us to develop a cost-effective and efficient approach for designing and engineering of permanent total enclosures (PTEs) and close capture hoods, thus improving capture efficiency and odor control in and around the work area. We also offer:

  • Environmental inspections and audits (to Ensure Compliance & Safety Criteria)
  • Pollution Prevention (including Efficiency Improvement, Treatment of Pollution & Waste Minimization)
  • Studies to Gather Information Prior to the Design and Construction of PTEs (This study is highly recommended when determining the size of a thermal oxidizer that will be supplied with emissions from the process.)
  • Studies to Minimize Volumetric Air Flows (On Ovens and Dryers Used for Drying and Curing in the Surface Coating, Printing, & Other Industries)
  • Studies Include Re-Circulation, Balancing, & Cascading

Capture Systems

JAMPRO provides capture systems that are used to keep solvent vapors from becoming fugitive. Our emphasis is placed on developing capture systems that will use the minimum amount of air to capture the maximum amount of VOCs, minimize interference with operators of the production equipment, and contain and capture the VOC vapors at the source. JAMPRO conducts studies on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and capture systems in surface coating, printing operations, and other industries. We provide our clients with years of experience in the areas listed below.

Fugitive VOCs

Solvents that evaporate into the production room and not pulled into the production equipment are termed "fugitive." They may have a negative effect on capture efficiency. From a regulatory standpoint, these fugitive emissions eventually escape into the atmosphere and become uncontrolled VOC emissions.

Captured VOCs

Solvents that are pulled into the production equipment (e.g. an oven dryer) and exhausted through the stack are said to have been "captured." These particular solvent vapors are now controlled and can be exhausted to a VOC reduction device, if necessary.

Consumed VOCs

Solvents that are oxidized/burned in the process are generally ignored, although the amount can be significant. For example, some ovens have been found to burn 5% to 10% of the solvent present in the re-circulating air passing through the oven burners. If capture efficiency is determined by a liquid-vapor mass balance procedure, the solvent loss by burning can result in an artificially low efficiency measurement.

Retained VOCs

A solvent that remains in the final product is generally called "retained solvent." They are, in most cases, such a small amount that they are frequently ignored when determining capture efficiencies. Exceptions may be found in processes that purposely retain significant amounts of solvent in the product, either to allow future processing or to provide some characteristic that would be missing in a "bone-dry" product. Still, another category may include that in which the solvent chemically combines with or within the product.
