Why is Tailoring the Design of Absorptive Silencers Important?
Exposure to hazardous noise causes hearing loss in millions of adults. The cumulative effects of a noisy environment, sometimes called noise pollution, inflict permanent damage to the inner ear's tiny hair cells (stereocilia). These excessive noise…
Corrosion-Resistant Lining Maintenance
Equipment in industrial facilities must be kept in good repair and proper operational order. When there are equipment failures, it not only causes unscheduled downtime, which can be costly to the facility, but it can also result in safety problems…
How a Simple Cycle Plant Can Run More Efficiently and Get a Better ROI
The availability and reliability of equipment at simple cycle plants have a direct effect on the performance of the plant as a whole. As a result, proper operation of equipment, up to or exceeding its life span, is crucial to maximize the return on…
Maintenance Needs for Your Simple Cycle Plant
At all power plants, staying on top of maintenance is complicated and challenging, but it’s also essential for efficiency and safety. Power plants require comprehensive, organized maintenance procedures to ensure that downtime is minimal, and…
Safety Issues to Watch for in Your Simple Cycle Exhaust System
As with any industrial facility, there are certain safety risks present in simple cycle gas plants that must be monitored and mitigated when there is an issue.
Preventing Downtime at Your Simple Cycle Gas Plant
Do you know how much one hour of unplanned downtime costs your power plant? While the actual number may be different across various types and sizes of plants, its significance and impact are universal. Every second that your simple cycle plant is…
How Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems Work
For centuries, combustion reactions have been an efficient means for creating electricity fit to power anything. They also create a considerable amount of NOx, or nitrogen oxide, which harms the environment because it contributes to the…
A Brief Overview of the Sound Absorption Coefficient
The acoustic environment you create during a building project matters, especially if you’re constructing an industrial facility with noisy machines and processes. One tool for simplifying your planning is to familiarize yourself with how sound…
Understanding A, C, and Z Noise Frequency Weightings
Noise measurement devices are useful, but only if they detect the frequencies that matter. One purpose for noise assessment is to introduce acoustic barriers and silencers that protect workers’ hearing and promote onsite communication where…
A Valve Maintenance Program Explained
Industrial facilities, including power, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, conduct chains of processes to convert a raw resource into a service or product for the public. Often, these processes require the transfer of various…
5 Types of Welding Services for Industrial Fabrication
Welding in an industrial context is, like other forms of welding, a simple process in principle. It essentially involves the combination of high temperatures, pressure, and sometimes filler material to make two separate components continuous with…
Applications of Industrial Silencers
Industrial noise is unavoidable to some extent, but it can reach a threshold that harms workers’ health and decreases the quality of their workplace. There are several points along the gas path that contribute noise in an industrial environment.…
