Petrochemical Plants

Custom silencers and acoustic barriers for petrochemical process, relief and cooling noise control challenges.

Noise Control Solutions for Petrochemical Plants

Petrochemical facilities convert refined products into chemical feedstocks, running continuous process equipment alongside intermittent high-noise venting events. Large, tightly packed plants create overlapping noise sources, and emergency relief can produce sudden discharge noise far above normal operating levels.

Noise Sources In Petrochemical plants

Process Compressors and Pumps: continuous mechanical and airborne noise.
Reactor and Distillation Systems: process equipment, heaters and associated piping.

Emergency Relief Venting: sudden, high-velocity discharge during upset conditions.
Cooling Towers: fan and water noise that carries beyond the site boundary.

How Burgess-Manning Controls Petrochemical Plant Noise

Custom silencers and acoustic barriers address both the steady-state noise of process equipment and the sudden discharge noise of emergency relief events. Vent silencers treat relief discharge, in-line, reactive and absorptive silencers treat piping and machinery noise, and acoustic shrouds and noise barriers reduce radiated noise from equipment and across the site.
