Silencers for the oil and gas industry
It is not news that very loud noises can have health consequences. High sound levels cause everything from tinnitus and hearing loss to psychological problems, such as increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression and poor performance in daily tasks. According to the study published in the British Medical Bulletin, continuous exposure also promotes the development of hypertension, heart disease and gastric problems.
These factors must be taken into account in the work environment. Industries such as oil and gas, for example, constantly emit sounds due to robust machinery. There are several laws and regulations that regulate the sound levels allowed within these places, such as NR10, NR12, NR15, among others. Noises above 85 dB are already considered harmful. However, in the industrial environment, the noise can reach 110 dB! How to solve this dilemma? In these cases, solutions must be sought to neutralize the impacts.
The silencers are the protagonists of this scenario! Through them, the sound level of the environment is controlled, ensuring the safety and well-being of employees. In addition, silencers also generate other benefits, such as pressure and flow control and prolonging the life of the machines. They are tough, efficient and economical!
