Discharge silencers for an air separation plant

The limitation of noise emissions is a problem that is, fortunately, increasingly taken into account during the construction of industrial sites.

In an air separation plant, the basic components of the atmosphere are separated (by means of various complex manufacturing processes involving in particular cryogenic distillations and heat exchangers) to obtain pure gases: mainly oxygen and nitrogen, secondarily rare inert gases such as argon.

These distillation products are widely used in various...

Prevention of noise pollution in an industrial site and nearby

An industrial site involves machines and facilities that contribute not only to the production of capital goods or energy, but also to the production of noise.

In some industries, an observable trend (among others) is the deployment of capacities with power per unit significantly increased, which is often accompanied by higher noise emissions.

Indeed, in many cases, the sound emission is an increasing function of the power (e.g. mechanical or electrical) of an equipment or a facility.

Thus...

Industrial silencers

Limiting noise emissions is a key factor for the successful integration of an industrial site into its environment, especially when it comes to gas and chemical industry facilties.

In a production unit for industrial gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen or carbon monoxide for the manufacture of chemicals, pressurized fluids are transported by pipelines and sometimes stored in on-site units.

In some contexts, the processes involved require the release to the atmosphere, in a short or...
