Modular Vent Silencers
The most efficient and flexible vent silencer solution for OEM and End-Users
Vent silencers are used to control the very high noise levels associated with venting pressurized gases to the atmosphere, such as steam, natural gas, air, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen or any other combination of compressed gases.
Burgess-Manning vent silencers are typically installed on relief, safety, control or start-up valves in steam boilers, HRSGs, gas compressing stations, FPSOs and most oil, gas and chemical processing plants. They are also used in any industry where compressed gases are utilized.
Modular vent silencers have been developed to address the needs of customers that need a working and reliable silencer, delivered quickly, without spending unnecessary time and money to specify every step of the design and manufacturing process. With almost a century of proven experience, Burgess Manning is proposing turnkey solutions to quickly solve your most common venting noise issues.
Modular silencers are not standard silencers: they are customized to meet your specific acoustic and pressure drop performance requirements and are fully compliant with ASME B31.1 and PED 14/68/EC or UKCA as applicable.
Right from the time of proposal, you already know what you will get, based on the provided silencer datasheet and GA drawing. Base offer is based on primed carbon steel welded construction, with butt weld connection and drain, self-supported on the discharge pipe, saving the cost for additional supporting structure.
But as we know that each site is different, you can also choose to add options:
- Flanged connections
- Supporting Brackets
- Bird Screen
- Rain Hoods
