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:
- a very high unit unilenced sound power level i.e. possibly reaching or exceeding 140 dB(A) even in the case of a medium mpower combustion turbine (e.g. 140 MW)
- a targeted sound pressure level at the end of...

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):
- for the level of daily exposure to noise L EX, 8h: 80 dB(A) and 85 dB(A) are the...
