Oil, gas and petrochemicals
Power plants, substations, transformers, renewables and oil and gas plants that run day and night.
Points on the drawing
Listen to the plant
Start the transformers or the pumps and hear what reaches the control room.
Noise reduction
– dB(A)
The pumps shake the ground and the pipes. One floating slab under the station cuts it for all of them.
Best with headphones. Sound synthesised from typical spectra, not a recording.
1Pumps and pumping stations
The problem
Feed, circulation or crude-oil pumps make the ground and the pipework of the whole plant vibrate.
What we fit
A floating slab under the whole pumping station or restrained isolators under each pump.
Typical choice
Anti-vibration floating slab1–4.5 Hz
Machine levelling feet25–7,000 kg · 15 Hz
Equal-frequency vibration mount4–3,125 kg · 2–8 Hz
Double springs with retention80–1,460 kg · 7–9 HzThe final choice depends on the load per mount, the speed and the environment. An engineer confirms it with you.
2Exhausts and hot pipework
The problem
Turbine exhausts and gas ducts work at hundreds of degrees and expand: rubber cannot cope and rigid supports fatigue.
What we fit
Telescopic supports and all-metal isolators that isolate vibration and let the pipe expand.
Typical choice
S501 exhaust pipe vibration mount20–7,000 kg · 10–25 Hz
Anti-vibration metal cushion0–3,000 kg · 10–35 Hz
Telescopic pipe damper40–730 kg · 3.5–5 Hz
Pipe vibration isolator VR-12612–45 kg · 5–7 HzThe final choice depends on the load per mount, the speed and the environment. An engineer confirms it with you.
3Turbines and generator sets
The problem
Gas and steam turbines and generator sets turn non-stop: vibration, structural fatigue and a risk of misalignment.
What we fit
All-metal isolators, double springs with restraint or a floating slab under the machine, depending on its weight and speed.
Typical choice
Vibration mounts 954202-95420350–7,000 kg · 11–22 HzAnti-vibration floating slab1–4.5 HzDouble springs with retention80–1,460 kg · 7–9 HzThe final choice depends on the load per mount, the speed and the environment. An engineer confirms it with you.
4Switchboards and control rooms
The problem
Switchboards, UPS units and control equipment must keep working after an earthquake too, above all in nuclear power plants.
What we fit
Qualified seismic plinths (IEEE 344, as at Krško) and isolators for containers and equipment rooms.
Typical choice
Non-Raised Floor Plinth, seismic plinth for racks100–1,500 kg · 4–5 Hz
Container Pad Seismic Vibration Isolator100–10,000 kg · 3–9 HzThe final choice depends on the load per mount, the speed and the environment. An engineer confirms it with you.
