 Whether on the ground, near offshore or on distant platforms, oil drilling is a noisy environment. The machinery is often huge scale and difficult to quiet. The most effective angle of attack is to isolate the noisiest machinery wither by damping (QuietCoat) or building walls that deflect the noise away from populated areas.
In offshore situations, the crew has to work, eat and sleep with the constant noise of machinery. This creates fatigue, mistakes, turnover. Quieting the habitation areas is key. The goal is usually to take at least 10 dB of noise out, across a broad frequency band.
Damping noise and vibration has traditionally been costly and risky – until now. Quiet Solution offers the oil & gas industry a complete line of high-performance products to soundproof machinery, and the associated buildings and vehicles. Using a new generation of viscoelastic polymers, it is now possible to achieve high levels of quiet with a fraction of the bulk, weight and cost of traditional technologies.
The most effective way to mitigate oil an gas refining noise and vibration is to coat as much of the equipment as possible with QuietCoat viscoelastic polymer. The other approach is to contain the noise by building soundproof areas.
