Gas Transmission
Custom silencers and acoustic enclosures for compressor station and pipeline noise control challenges.
Noise Control Solutions for Gas transmission
Pipeline compressor stations keep natural gas moving over long distances and run continuously, often in rural areas that border homes, farms and public roads. Reciprocating and centrifugal compressors produce constant mechanical and airborne noise along with pulsation-driven pipe noise, while venting events release large volumes of high-pressure gas. Stations are generally required to keep noise within regulatory limits at the site boundary.

How Burgess-Manning Controls Compressor Station Noise
Silencers on engine intake and exhaust address the loudest continuous sources, and acoustic enclosures around rotating equipment contain noise that radiates from the machinery itself. Reactive, absorptive and in-line silencers treat compressor suction and discharge piping, and ventilation systems remove heat and any leaked gas from compressor and engine enclosures without releasing noise.
Blowdown silencers are a familiar part of any facility with gas compression. Blowdown separator silencers release station pressure in a controlled manner during emergency or unit blowdowns, limit the acoustic impact on workers and neighbors and capture liquid hydrocarbons before they reach the atmosphere.
