Abstract: For many years the gas industry has had a reputation for supplying the nation with its cleanest source of raw energy. Its impact on the environment has been minimal with no water or air pollution. However, in more recent years there has been a growing amount of pollution of a different form around our district gate stations or metering stations. This is noise pollution and it normally occurs at pressure reducing stations where piping and controls are installed above ground. Like other forms of pollution, excessive noise was not considered a serious problem or a serious design criteria until the more recent cries of public opinion and employee concern about the potential physical damage to the human ear. Noise is not new to the gas industry, but forecasting or predicting a problem that may cause physical damage is new. Accurate prediction techniques have been developed in recent years which will save the gas engineer time and money. Also, innovative new designs developed in the last five years have provided a wide range of equipment and application guidelines that will allow the gas engineer to reduce noise to a more reasonable and legal level.
