New double septum acoustical covers

We’ve just installed more covers on vessels-V 31,32,33,34. With this latest addition, we’ve spent over $250,000 on sound attenuation so far.

Remember the enclosure we built around our Guild skid last March? In response to some more feedback and sound testing, we’ve gone ahead and added special custom-made louvers to the enclosure as well. These should eliminate the last bit of sound that could possibly come from this equipment.

We’ve just received the acoustical cover for V-1580. We’re very slowly blanketing our noisy vessels in the processing plant with thick acoustical covers, trying to ensure that none of our neighbors are inconvenienced at all by any of the sounds made while we’re processing our green gas. As always, feel free to drop us a line and let us know how we’re doing!

We retained Hessler to come back onsite to measure our sound levels after we completed the installation of sound mitigation equipment. Results look much improved, and we’re still well within the requirements set forth by the county. Can you hear the improvements?

We just finished up the enclosure that our consultant recommended we install around the valving skid for the Guild system. We’ll have another sound expert back to measure it officially, but we can already tell a huge improvement.

The custom double-walled acoustical blanket arrived and we installed it the very next day. Already we can hear a noticeable reduction in sound here at the plant. Hope it’s noticeable further away, too.

After a week of feasibility testing, the BEW crew implemented a slight change to the mechanical system of one component in the gas process. This will hopefully allow us to keep the plant running more smoothly and eliminate any noises caused as the plant goes through a sudden, unexpected change in the process.

Though we’ve had access to the detailed results from the last sound study for a few weeks now, various operational issues at the plant have prohibited us from successfully diagnosing more specific sources. We simply haven’t had the plant online consistently for long enough to be able to monitor specific components during normal operations. But now that we’ve run steadily for a few days, we’ve been able to glean some more information. What we’ve found out is that there are unfortunately a handful of distinct sounds which the plant will make when operating normally. The good news is that most of these noises are produced by a handful of the hundreds of valves which are continuously adjusting and resetting in the normal operation of the plant. We’ve measured up the offending components and ordered custom ‘blankets’ to surround them and absorb most of the sound. Will update when they’ve arrived and we’ve installed them.
