Reduction of industrial noise in the environment

Details

The reduction of industrial noise in the environment is all the more necessary as the number and power of some machines and various processes is accompanied by an increase in their noise emissions, which would then be likely - if nothing were done - to negatively impact the quietness of neighbors, not only at short distances (e.g. at the property boundary), but also in more distant locations (in a variable manner depending on the configuration of the locations e.g. relief, land use, obstacles...

Limitation of the noise impact of an industrial facility (FCEP)

Details

In France, a limitation of the noise impact is required for an industrial facility, especially if it comes to a Facility Classified for Environmental Protection (FCEP):

  • to comply with Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of February 6, 2003, concerning the minimum safety and health requirements relating to the exposure of workers to risks due to physical agents (noise):

Noisy industrial equipment soundproofing

Details

ITS contributed to noisy industrial equipment soundproofing, in the context of the construction, in North Africa, of a gas-fired power plant with a power of 1.2 GigaWatt comprising 4 large-capacity combustion turbines.

This included limiting the noise impact of these turbines and related generators, both for the personnel of the energy production site and for the neighborhood.

In such cases, high acoustic performance is required when the sound power level of some noise sources approaches 140...
