Main Challenges for the Efficient Management of Atmospheric Emissions
Complexity of emission sources
Dealing with a variety of sources, including point, fugitive and diffuse.
Regulatory compliance
Keeping up to date and in compliance with constantly evolving environmental legislation.
Control technologies
Implement and maintain efficient emission control systems.
Continuous monitoring
Establish robust systems for real-time monitoring of emissions.
Data management
Collect, analyze and report large volumes of emissions data accurately and efficiently.
What is the purpose of Air Emissions Management?
Atmospheric emissions management is a systematic and comprehensive process that aims to identify, assess and mitigate emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere from production activities. At Servmar, we understand that this process is fundamental to improving air quality, reducing environmental impacts and ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent regulations. Our approach integrates technical, regulatory and innovative aspects to develop effective and lasting solutions.
This process involves several interconnected activities, including: continuous emissions monitoring, implementation of control technologies, data analysis, preparation of emissions inventories and development of pollutant reduction strategies.

How to make your Air Emissions Management effective
We implement direct on-site measurements to identify and quantify unintentional emissions throughout production processes. This step is essential for detecting leaks of harmful gases and implementing corrective measures to reduce losses.
We collect and analyze gaseous effluents, using advanced technologies for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the pollutants emitted. This procedure culminates in the issuing of an environmental diagnosis report, which provides the basis for decision-making on effective mitigation strategies.
As well as compiling emissions inventories, we develop and implement digital solutions for environmental data management. These tools enable secure storage, continuous monitoring and analysis of key indicators such as the Carbon Footprint. This approach facilitates the efficient preparation of annual inventories in line with internationally recognized standards such as the GHG Protocol, providing a solid basis for sustainability actions and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions:
At Servmar, we are committed to providing clear and accurate information to help our customers better understand our services and the importance of environmental sustainability.
This FAQ section has been created to answer the most common questions, providing quick access to answers that can help you make informed decisions. We value transparency and open communication, and we are always happy to answer any other questions you may have.
Atmospheric emissions are substances released into the air from natural sources or human activities. In the industrial context, they mainly refer to gaseous pollutants, particles and aerosols released during production processes. This includes greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, pollutants such as nitrogen and sulphur oxides, volatile organic compounds and particulate matter.
Fugitive emissions are unintentional and diffuse releases of pollutants, usually from leaks in equipment, valves, flanges or other connections. Point source emissions, on the other hand, are those released in a controlled manner through specific chimneys or ducts. Fugitive emissions are generally more difficult to quantify and control, requiring specialized monitoring and mitigation techniques.
Proper management of atmospheric emissions has many benefits:
- Legal compliance, avoiding fines and penalties
- Improving operational efficiency and reducing costs
- Protecting the health of workers and neighboring communities
- Strengthening corporate reputation and stakeholder relations
- Contribution to sustainability goals and reduction of carbon footprint
- Access to markets and investors that prioritize responsible environmental practices
The main steps include:
- Inventory and characterization of emission sources
- Implementation of continuous monitoring systems
- Analysis and interpretation of the data collected
- Identification of opportunities to reduce and control emissions
- Implementation of mitigation technologies and practices
- Reporting and communicating results
- Continuous improvement and adaptation to new regulations
Atmospheric emissions inventories are essential because:
- Provide a comprehensive overview of the sources and quantities of pollutants emitted
- To serve as a basis for the development of emission reduction strategies
- Monitor progress against reduction targets
- Assisting in meeting regulatory and reporting requirements
- Identify opportunities for improvement and operational efficiency
- Facilitate transparent communication with stakeholders on environmental performance
Servmar uses internationally recognized methodologies, such as the GHG Protocol, to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of our clients' emissions inventories.
Technologies are revolutionizing the management of atmospheric emissions in many ways:
