February, 2007 – Sound Fighter Systems’ LSE Absorptive Noise Barriers are proving to be a valuable noise mitigation tool for Oil & Gas Production Companies. The LSE System is a fully noise-absorptive outdoor noise barrier system designed for peripheral placement around gas compression and production equipment. Desired noise reduction is achieved without the need for fully-enclosed attenuation buildings, which also require secondary mechanical ventilation systems.
“The LSE System is gaining many friends in the Oil & Gas industry.” notes Sound Fighter’s Vice President Murray Stacy. “Although the LSE System is well-known in the transportation and manufacturing worlds, its durability and acoustic performance is proving an ideal solution for production-related noise issues as well, including gas compression and transmission facilities, generators, and transformers.”
LSE Absorptive Noise Barrier Specs
- The LSE System is fully absorptive, with an NRC of 1.05 and an STC of 33.
- Sound Fighter Systems can custom engineer and design enclosures for any size application.
- The LSE System can be designed for any configuration and wind load.
- All structural steel is engineered and custom fabricated in Sound Fighter’s own plant.
- LSE Barriers are maintenance free, impervious to the elements, and can be made in any color.
Stacy adds, “What’s especially valuable to our Oil & Gas customers is that the LSE System eliminates the need for expensive, fully-enclosed insulated metal buildings. These buildings require mechanical ventilation systems which are very expensive to operate and maintain; not to mention the real potential for a catastrophic ventilation failure which can shut-down or even destroy their expensive production equipment. Reflective materials like brick, block, metal or concrete simply can’t match the noise-eliminating performance of the LSE’s absorptive design. It works, and it is saving our customers a lot of money and headaches.”
Sound Fighter Systems has also designed a portable LSE Barrier for temporary or changing noise problems.
