Construction of a silent power station

In a power station, noise is not inevitable. Even when electricity production is based on the use of combustion turbines, which are noise sources of very high (acoustic) power, solutions exist to limit the sound impact of the various equipment necessary for the proper operation of such a plant.

Enclosures reduce the noise radiated by the body of the turbomachines, while silencers allow to prevent the propagation of noise through the openings provided for the ventilation of soundproof buildings...

Acoustic insulation of a power station

In a power station, e.g. with one or more combustion turbines and one or more generators, noise is emitted, which could, if not heeded, deprive the residents of their tranquility and be a nuisance for the working conditions of the plant's employees.

Consideration should therefore be given to works to limit the noise impact of such installations.

The construction of buildings with high acoustic performance housing the incriminated noise sources is of course an appropriate solution, but it is...

Soundproofing works in a power plant

Gas-fired power plants are based on the use of combustion turbines whose noise emissions (as well as those of their ancillary equipment) are very important: they should be maintained at an acceptable level for the neighborhood as well as for the employees operating within the perimeter of the plant.

Among the most notable sources of noise, mention may be made of the turbine itself, of course, but also of the gas module, of the injection module or even of sets of duct surfaces, in particular in...
