Controlling Industrial Noise: Vent Silencers for the Ethanol Industry
When steam is released to atmosphere via a pressure relief valve (PRV), it can create excessive noise that can be objectionable to employees and surrounding areas. To mitigate this across industry, vent silencers are typically used in conjunction with systems that utilize a PRV, including in ethanol production processes.
Installed around the world to effectively silence high-velocity air, steam and gas vents, vent silencers from Dürr Universal offer the following benefits:
- Available in many connection styles, compatible for installations worldwide
- Standard sizes or custom configurations tailored to your application
- High-performance, high-temperature acoustic fill options for longer-life and can withstand a wide range of temperatures
- NEW! Optional floating inlet to compensate for thermal expansion without the need for an expansion joint
Dürr Universal’s extensive in-house engineering, manufacturing, and industry expertise ensure a superior single-source mechanical and acoustic solution. We make the process more efficient by eliminating the need to shop multiple places for your system components. Our vent silencer customer specification sheet makes the collection of necessary data easy and you can rely on our experienced staff to recommend the vent silencer best suited for your application.
