| Noise Control for Simple Cycle Combustion Turbine Power Plants |
|
The design of silencing systems for simple cycle combustion turbine exhausts has been at the core of
our expertise since the company was founded in 1976. Hessler Associates is the only independent
acoustical consulting firm with the capabilty to prepare complete custom silencer designs encompassing
the acoustical, aerodynamic and structural design along with materials selection, fabrication drawings,
installation inspections and follow-up testing services.

The special challenge in attenuating simple cycle turbine exhaust noise is adequately suppressing the
difficult-to-suppress very low frequency (infra-sound) component of the emitted noise, which is often
responsible for rattling windows or perceptible resonances inside homes far from the facility. We have
been solving this problem at peaking plants for years and are constantly investigating new ways of
maximizing low frequency noise abatement while minimizing silencer size, cost and pressure drop.
