Midstream Operations
Custom silencers and barrier walls for gas transmission and LNG noise control challenges.
Noise Control Solutions for Gas Transmission and LNG Facilities
Midstream operations move natural gas and liquids from the wellhead to processing and storage, relying on continuous, high-pressure compression, pipeline and liquefaction equipment that runs around the clock. These facilities are often located close to public roads or residential areas. Compressor stations alone can generate sustained noise well above occupational exposure limits, and facilities are frequently required to meet strict day-night average noise limits, making noise control a requirement from day one.
Burgess-Manning addresses midstream noise with a combination of custom-engineered silencers, acoustic enclosures and barrier walls, sized to the specific equipment and layout of each facility.
Compressor stations move gas through the pipeline network using reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, producing continuous mechanical and airborne noise along with pulsation-driven pipe noise. Silencers on engine intake and exhaust, blowdown separator silencers and acoustic enclosures with ventilation systems surrounding rotating equipment keep noise within regulatory limits at the site boundary.
Liquefaction, storage and transfer of natural gas are high-energy processes, which makes LNG facilities major sources of intense and complex noise. Compressors, cryogenic pumps, venting systems and turbulent piping all contribute to the acoustic profile, so noise control has to be built into facility design and facility upgrades.
