Minor equipment, and light density layout As a guide, minor equipment can be taken as having rated power of 30kW or less, and light density layout can be taken as where significant noise sources are spaced 10m or more apart, such as pumps for tank farms. In areas where the equipment is 39。minor39。 and the layout is of light density individual equipment noise limits can be set initially at 4dBA below the local area noise limit. Vents to atmosphere Noise from vents shall ply or be patible with the appropriate Normal or Intermittent noise limit. The noise generation may be from either or both of the pressure drop / restriction device (orifice plate or pressure relief valve) or jet noise at the point of discharge to atmosphere. The jet noise ponent may be reduced if necessary by reduction of the efflux velocity. Noise generated at the restriction may be reduced by inline silencers, but the remendations of API 521 shall be taken into account where the vent is part of a pressure relief system. Depending on its routing the pipe run between restriction and discharge may need to be considered for pipework noise. A4 PIPEWORK NOISE CONTINUOUS Noise from pipework frequently dominates a process area. In particular noise from the suction and discharge pipework for large pressors and pumps, and the lines teed into these, can frequently exceed 100dBA at 1m from the pipe if no treatment is applied. The Contractor shall include in his Work Area noise level estimates the effects of pipework noise. As an initial basis the noise reduction at tees should be based on the sound power entering the tee equalling (without power loss) the sum of the sound SECCO Plant Design Noise Philosophy PH00TSCSE0004A00 Plant Design Noise Philosophy Page 15 of 19 26/06/02 powers in the lines leaving the tee, and (for gas lines only) a loss at the rate of 3dB per 50 nominal diameters of pipe run. For large multistage centrifugal pumps and pressors, pipework noise is liable to contain tonal content at blade passing frequency. The application of the Work Area and Community Tonal / Narrow Band weighting requirements shall be addressed by the Contractor. Where large noise reductions are required to be achieved by pipework acoustic insulation the pipework affected shall include in its supports vibration isolation pads (typically neoprene based), to minimise transmission of high frequency noise into the pipework support structure. For further guidance reference should be made to EEMUA 142. Early in the initial design the Contractor should make an initial assessment of pipework insulation requirements before pipework layout design work starts, so that sufficient space is allowed for the application of acoustic insulation and any special pipe supports.
