noise emissions Articles

This paper discusses some recent developments that make the existing standards on the emission of high-frequency noise in power systems need to be reconsidered. It is shown that it is possible for an equipment to remain below the emission limits while at the same time the disturbance level increases beyond what was intended by the standard document. Further, the change from analog to digital ...

The increasing awareness of the public of environmental issues such as CO2 emissions, carbon footprints and waste recycling has brought the issue of environmental noise to the fore. Many of the demands of modern society result in the creation of noise sources such as larger airports, additional power stations and higher road traffic levels. In addition to this, the expansion of towns and cities, ...

Over the last decade, Indonesia’s largest and most successful state-owned oil and gas enterprises faced significant problems with excess light, heat, noise and environmental pollutions. The facility, located in Mudi, Tuban, has grown to produce huge amounts of toxic and sour gas, making emissions a growing concern. The traditional, large pipe flares historically used to mediate the ...

Nowadays, one of the most valuable criteria of vehicle quality assessment is based on acoustic emission levels. A vehicle is judged comfortable depending on the noise levels transmitted inside. Consequently, there is a general attention to the design criteria aimed at improving the structural acoustic behaviour, to comply with the increasingly restrictive ergonomic standard. Therefore, it is ...

Turbochargers are now commonly used in passenger cars especially in application with diesel engines because of their numerous advantages. The use of this machine greatly improves engine performance, while at the same time allowing pollutant emissions to be reduced. However, one of the important issues to take into account when a turbocharger is used in passenger cars is the whistling noise due to ...

Summary: Increasing requirements of the environmental standards and planning permission conditions create more challenges to the equipment providers. Environment Agency guidance demands low emission levels and local planners put low noise levels in their conditions for landfill sites. Achieving both at the same time with conventional equipment was found problematic. Biogas Technology has ...

Disposing of nearly 1 million pounds of medical waste a month is no easy task. The wet electrostatic precipitator, installed at Rochester, MN-based Mayo Clinic, seems to be just what the doctor ordered. While the medical waste incinerator at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, consistently met state and federal emission requirements, facility leadership recognized that installing a wet electrostatic ...

With reactive silencers, AERZEN reduces the noise emissions on the discharge side of its screw compressors, positive displacement blowers, and rotary lobe compressors. The innovative concept of these reactive silencers is superior to classic dissipative silencers in many respects. The sound waves developing on the discharge side of a Delta Screw compressor made by AERZEN can reach 170 to 190 dB. ...

Good Neighbours Limit their Noise Impact Long-term noise monitoring has taken place in various applications for many years. Business such as airports, power stations, refineries, mines, etc., may be required to perform continuous noise monitoring to ensure legal operating conditions are not breached, and to demonstrate to local authorities and communities that the business continues to be a good ...

The next generations of direct injection diesel engines have greatly improved their performances compared with petrol engines. However, one of the pending subjects is the noise and vibration levels, due to working cycle itself. The design effort to reduce the emissions of noise and vibration transmitted to the vehicle's driver could be lessened because of the assembly process variation. In this ...
