In-Line Silencer

In refineries, chemical processing plants, compressed air or gas plants, noise and vibration radiated by piping or ducting networks represent a major issue for equipment integrity, employee safety and community relationships.

Burgess-Manning inline silencers feature two primary design approaches, each engineered to meet specific noise control requirements:

Absorptive/Dissipative Silencers
These silencers deliver exceptional broadband noise attenuation across multiple frequencies. Burgess-Manning carefully selected absorbing materials are optimized for superior acoustical performance and protected from flow erosion through specialized fabric barriers and perforated metal sheets. This robust construction enables higher flow velocities while maintaining compact silencer dimensions.

Available Configurations:

  • Complete units with integrated casing
  • Drop-in cartridges designed for installation in existing customer piping between flanges

Engineered with precision-tuned chambers and volumes connected by choke tubes or venturis, reactive silencers target specific noise frequencies while effectively treating flow pulsations. These versatile units can be configured as:

  • 100% reactive designs (acoustic fiber-free construction)
  • Hybrid solutions combining reactive and absorptive technologies for broader frequency noise attenuation

This dual-technology approach ensures optimal performance tailored to your specific application requirements.

Relevant Industries

Oil and gas refineries, natural gas processing plants and LNG facilities represent remarkably intensive and acoustically challenging industrial environments, generating intense noise levels from complex processing equipment, high-pressure systems and continuous operations. Hydrocarbon processing facilities require comprehensive noise control solutions to ensure worker safety, regulatory compliance, community relations and operational efficiency.

Power plants generate both energy and significant acoustic energy. Excessive noise can endanger employees, affect equipment longevity and violate local and international regulations. Burgess-Manning custom-engineers silencers for turbines, compressors, blowers, generators and transformers.

Industrial applications generate considerable noise as a result of high-capacity machinery, continuous operations and complex infrastructure. Without proper noise control, these environments can pose risks to employee health, disrupt surrounding communities and violate environmental and occupational noise regulations. Implementing tailored noise mitigation solutions of acoustic walls, noise barriers and silencers while utilizing acoustic modeling, CFD, FEA and noise measurements to design solutions not only supports safety, but also enhances operational efficiency and community relations.
