Engineering noise control solution for burner
noise nuisance
A low frequency burner drone from an industrial boiler was causing
noise nuisance complaints. The usual noise reduction solution for
boiler noise is a large industrial silencer. In this case, to provide
a 20 dB reduction in the noise drone, a silencer manufacturer quoted
£10,000 - £14,000 depending on the allowable pressure
drop. The company decided that this was too expensive and sought
our help. Our engineering noise control solution produced a 22 dB
reduction in the boiler drone with no pressure drop. The cost was
£2000. So, the company saved £8,000 - £12,000
by selecting our engineering noise control solution instead of a
silencer.

General comments about burner noise reduction
Low frequency combustion noise from various types of burner, boiler,
dryer, furnace, etc. are a common cause of noise nuisance, and often
requires a large noise reduction. The drone frequency is usually
so low that normal noise control equipment like an industrial silencer
provide little noise reduction (unless a very large, complex silencer
is used, which is extremely expensive as shown by the above example).
In contrast, engineering noise control solutions provide a high
noise reduction at low cost. Here are a few examples of the large
reduction in burner noise achieved by an engineering noise control
solution:-
A noise reduction of 11 dBA was achieved
on a drier using a very low cost engineering noise control solution.
An engineering noise control solution eliminated
a low frequency (37 Hz) burner noise drone, providing a 22 dB noise
reduction.
A 15 dB reduction in a low frequency (110
Hz) boiler noise drone was produced by a low cost engineering noise
control solution.
An engineering noise control solution achieved
10 dB noise reduction in a low frequency (117 Hz) boiler noise drone.
