Water Separator Silencer

Silencers For Vacuum Pumps and Water Sealed Vacuum Blowers

Description
Technical Data

The Burgess-Manning patented water separator/silencer design removes entrained liquid from air in a vacuum system while providing noise reduction. Gas flow passes through a ported tube and snubbing chamber, which attenuates the noise over a wide frequency range. Simultaneously, 99% of the free liquid is removed centrifugally in the separation section.

Industries:

Chemical processing
Power generation
Pulp and paper
Water and wastewater treatment
Food and beverage
General industrial vacuum systems

Systems and Conditions:

Water-sealed vacuum blowers
Systems requiring both liquid separation and noise control
Environments with entrained liquid in gas flow
Low-pressure discharge systems (up to 10 psig)

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.

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 enhances operational efficiency and community relations.
