Custom silencers and acoustic walls for refinery, gas processing and petrochemical noise control challenges

Noise Control Solutions for Refineries, Gas Processing Plants and Petrochemical Facilities

Downstream operations refine crude oil and process natural gas into finished products, running concentrations of pumps, compressors and steam systems in facilities that frequently sit near communities. This concentration of equipment creates overlapping, continuous noise sources across a single site. Burgess-Manning addresses this industrial noise pollution with a combination of custom-engineered silencers, acoustic enclosures and barrier walls, sized to the specific equipment and layout of each facility.

Pumps, compressors, turbines and steam systems produce continuous and often hazardous noise. Silencers on vent stacks, blowdown systems and relief valves control high-velocity discharge noise, while acoustic walls around rotating equipment reduce airborne and structure-borne sound.

High-pressure compressors, turbines, flare systems, dehydrators and relief valves generate substantial noise during both continuous operation and intermittent events. Tailored silencing systems and acoustic barriers target the dominant sources identified through site surveys and acoustic modeling.

Petrochemical facilities convert refined products into chemical feedstocks, running continuous process equipment alongside intermittent high-noise venting events. Custom silencers and acoustic barriers address both steady-state process noise and the sudden discharge noise of emergency relief.
