Gas Processing Plants
Custom silencers and acoustic barriers for gas processing compressor, vent and flare noise control challenges.
Noise Control Solutions for Gas Processing Plants
Gas processing plants operate high-pressure equipment that generates substantial noise during both continuous operation and intermittent events. Compressors, turbines, flare systems, dehydrators and pressure relief valves each contribute to overall noise levels, and a blowdown or relief event can raise site noise levels in seconds.

How Burgess-Manning Controls gas processing Noise
To mitigate noise, gas plants deploy tailored silencing systems, including:
- Reactive Silencers
- Flue Gas Silencers
- Silencers on vent lines, blowdown stacks and discharge systems
- Acoustic barriers around rotating machinery like compressors and engines
Natural gas processing plants often engage in noise measurement, site surveys and detailed acoustic modeling to identify dominant noise sources and evaluate the effectiveness of potential solutions. Retrofitting of noise control solutions is employed when operational changes or equipment upgrades introduce new acoustic challenges.
