Noise reduction from gas relief vents
- Details
In an Air Separation Unit (ASU), gas decompression (relief) vents often allow mixtures of air and Nitrogen (N2), or pure Oxygen (O2), to be released into the atmosphere, which makes it necessary to reduce the noise caused, both for the protection of site personnel and for the neighborhood, because the sound power level before soundproofing can exceed 150 dB(A), which is considerable.
If the considered site is in Europe, Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of...
Reduction of the sound level of noisy industrial equipment
- Details
The reduction of the sound level of noisy industrial equipment is a necessity in view of various requirements:
- the protection of workers (e.g. assigned to production, operation of machines, process controls and supervision, maintenance) on the considered site: their health is at stake when they are exposed to noise (both with regard to their hearing and to the risks of accident they run when warning and traffic signals for vehicles and machines are not correctly perceived); in terms of...

Noise reduction of industrial compressors
- Details
Noise reduction of industrial compressors (in oil refineries, facilities with gas pipelines, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants, refrigeration plants but also in air separation units - ASU -) aims to limit sound impact:
- of air intake (often with the implementation of a filtration system, of variable efficiency depending on the application)
- of machinery i.e. the set of mechanical components
It is a necessity:
- for the health of workers on the industrial site (it comes to the...
