| Noise Control for Paper Mills and Wood Products Facilities |
Hessler Associates provides acoustical analysis, design and noise control services for new or existing
pulp and paper mills and wood products facilities. Noise from proposed future installations
can be analytically modeled to evaluate any potential environmental impacts from the plant and to
determine what noise mitigation measures might have to be incorporated into the facility.

|
In addition, the firm specializes in the analysis and diagnosis of noise problems in operating facilities
and in the development of practical and cost-effective noise abatement measures.
|
Typical noise sources include:
» Pulp Digester Systems
» Recovery Boilers
» Chip Conveyors
» Debarking drums
» Pulp Refiners
» Refiner Motors
» Paper Machines
» Paper Dryers
|
|
Other services include complete acoustical mapping of operating facilities to document current in-plant
noise levels. Noise mapping identifies high noise areas where ear protection or limited exposure times
may be required by OSHA (for domestic sites) or the pertinent regulatory body for overseas facilities.
In addition, the comprehensive site survey involved in mapping highlights areas where noise mitigation
would produce the greatest benefit.
