Abstract: Union Gas Ltd. has recently been involved in the design of an acoustically treated compressor station. Noise emanating from a station into the environnent outside the property perimeter is caused by mechamcal equipment in operation and gas flowing through piping and valves. Noise generated from a turbine station varies in power level and frequencv. The noises, varying from the high frequency throbbing type, create a number of problems for surrounding residential homes. Increasingly stringent guidelines and public awareness of noise have resulted in intensified efforts of industry to reduce noise emissions. Significant portions of the design effort of compression facilities are dedicated to the mitigation of noise. This paper provides an overview of noise and considers how a compressor station can be designed and built to meet a silencing requirement. Specific aspects of this were successfully applied to Union Gas Limiteds, Parkway Compressor Station, Canada.
