Soundproofing of booster / expanders

Details

Published: 04 May 2026

ITS will participate in the soundproofing of boosters / expanders, major componets of Air Separation Units. Although such hardware is not very large (the surface area of its footprint is around 10 m2, its height typically being around 4 m), its noise emissions are nevertheless far from negligible when taking inventory of the noise sources of such an installation, since the sound power level is around (for each one) 125 dB(A), which is considerable; this is all the more true when 6 such pieces...

Supply and installation of large-dimension soundproof gates

Details

Published: 19 April 2026

ITS will participate in the supply and installation of large soundproof gates at a high-tech industrial site in Western Europe. This involves equipping the openings used for maintenance operations in a large building housing six very high-capacity compressors, in order to limit the sound pressure level outside the building and comply with regulatory requirements:

• European Directive 2003/10/EC concerning the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks...

Noise reduction in a gas-fired power plant

Details

Published: 11 March 2026

ITS participated in the noise reduction of a gas-fired power plant in the Middle East, the use - in the context of this project - of a combustion turbine with a power output of around 140 MW being accompanied by very significant noise emissions, which could not not be treated specifically, if only to comply with regulations:

• for what has to do with the hearing health of staff at such a site. European Directive 2003/10/EC concerning the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the...
