Noise reduction in a gas-fired power plant
- Details
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...
Noise treatment of turbomachinery
- Details
The transfer of energy between a rotating part (a rotor) and a fluid (a liquid in the case of a pump, air in the case of a compressor, another gas in the case of a combustion turbine), which forms the basis of turbomachinery operation, is accompanied by very significant noise emissions, characterized by a very high sound power level over a wide frequency range. Noise treatment of turbomachinery is necessary for various reasons:
- from the perspective of the health of employees (and also of...
Noise abatement in a production facility
- Details
Noise abatement in a production facility is necessary for several reasons:
- as regards the health and well-being of employees, which must be preserved by offering them sufficiently good working conditions, if only to avoid the decline in the quality of production, absenteeism, hearing injuries and accidents possibly resulting from excessive fatigue or stress, or even from the failure to perceive audible warning signals. Prolonged use of noise-canceling headphones - which do not always offer...
