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:

Noise reduction of electricity production equipment

Details

The noise reduction of electricity production equipment often concerns large capacity turbomachines (e.g. combustion and/or steam turbines coupled to generators) and related equipment (gas module, lubrication module) which have numerous common points regarding their soundproofing:
