The project: enhancing acoustic comfort

The plant, characterized by sections for cogeneration, boiler heating, thermal exchange, and summer cooling energy production, required targeted acoustic solutions to address the noise generated by ventilation and air-conditioning units.

Stopson Italiana installed two distinct types of noise barriers:

Open acoustic barrier

Positioned at a height of 6 meters and secured to the building’s exterior wall with brackets and uprights, this 3.5-meter-tall barrier is designed to absorb and isolate sound from ventilation groups. Its structure combines acoustic steel panels, offering high performance in noise reduction.

Closed acoustic barrier

Installed on the building’s roof, this 2.5-meter-tall barrier is complemented by acoustic louvers to ensure airflow while reducing noise from air-conditioning units. This enclosed design effectively prevents noise propagation in open environments.

The barriers achieved noise reductions exceeding the client’s expectations, with performance metrics including:

• 7 dB attenuation for the open barrier.
• 5 dB attenuation for the closed barrier.

Stopson Italiana’s expertise in acoustic barriers

Stopson Italiana specializes in designing customized acoustic barriers, using materials such as painted steel, aluminum, corten steel, and even wood or glass. These solutions cater to diverse industries and applications, including traffic noise control, industrial plants, and energy production facilities.

Each solution is tailored to meet the most stringent technical specifications, ensuring a reduction of noise pollution while preserving operational efficiency.

Conclusion: commitment to a quieter future

This intervention not only underscores Stopson Italiana’s expertise in noise pollution control but also reinforces their commitment to sustainable and innovative acoustic solutions. With this project, the company has once again demonstrated its ability to exceed client expectations, achieving effective noise reduction and improving environmental quality in urban areas.

RDM Cartonboard Project: Technical Details

The RDM Cartonboard plant includes a CPR-50 steam generator capable of producing up to 50,700 kg/h of steam at 12 bar. Stopson Italiana contributed with the installation of two custom silencers to optimize acoustic performance and ensure compliance with noise regulations.

SPM Multi-Inlet Silencer

Functioning Principle and Advantages

The steam vent silencer model SPM was designed to combine all steam lines into a single body. This system allows for the simultaneous operation of two lines, each equipped with a specific diffuser that directs the flow toward the upper absorbing section.

Thanks to this configuration, Stopson Italiana achieved two key objectives:

• High acoustic performance: noise reduction to 85 dB(A) at one meter.
• Space optimization: the compact design of the silencer minimizes footprint while maintaining high noise absorption efficiency.

SVC Silencer with Core

Customized Design

The SVC model, designed with a three-concentric-ring structure and flanged casing, was specifically developed for bypass lines. This device uses sound-absorbing materials protected by perforated sheets, ensuring optimal performance with minimal pressure loss.

Applications and Performance

The SVC silencer ensures high operational efficiency even at operating temperatures up to 100°C, making it an ideal solution for soundproofing ventilation ducts and bypass systems.

Client’s Feedback: Valtec-Umisa’s Opinion

Miguel Medina, SalesDirector at Valtec-Umisa, stated:

“This is not the first time we’ve relied on Stopson Italiana’s support. Even for this complex project, we were highly satisfied with the quality and performance of the silencers provided.”

Conclusion

The project at the RDM Cartonboard paper mill is another success story for Stopson Italiana. Thanks to customized and innovative solutions, the company once again demonstrated its leadership in the industrial noise control sector.

The soundproofing intervention consisting of an acoustic enclosure for the Enel Green Power plant in Bordogna has recently been completed.

The acoustic cabin was designed to be installed inside the beautiful power plant built in 1932 which, exploiting a useful jump of 546.55 meters and a maximum derivable flow of 12 square meters/sec through two forced pipes that feed 3 hydraulic turbines Pelton is in able to provide efficient power of around 47,000 KW.

With a size of 11.6 x 11.1 x 3.8 m, the structure has been made accessible and completely removable by means of a bridge crane in its upper part, in order to facilitate the management of the turbine components.

The air outlet from the system has been designed using an electric fan, which, when coupled to a silencer, expels air outside the plant through an opening located on the central window.

The soundproof cabin was designed to guarantee an average residual sound pressure level of 78 dB (A), measured at 1 m from the cabin and 1.7 m from the floor.

Stopson Italiana acoustic enclosures are modeled around every type of noisy equipment, internal or external, on skid and on the ground. They are designed to provide excellent attenuation of sound emissions in any critical environment. The realization takes place in modular acoustic panels and coatings for noise insulation, guaranteeing at the same time the maintenance of the equipment, ventilation, weather protection and fire safety.

The typical applications of acoustic enclosures are:

• Energy production systems, including gas turbine steam turbines, traditional and industrial recovery boilers, diesel generators;
• Cogeneration plants (CHP);
• Natural gas compression networks and facilities;
• Manufacturing and process industry: for example the automotive industry, paper industries, printing houses, etc.

Stopson Italiana has successfully completed the supply of steam blow-off silencers and cleaning equipment, including pumps, valves, spectacle flanges, instrumentation and pneumatic target plates system, and provision of supervision services for the blow-off operations of two Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP) performed in parallel.

The 230 t/h capacity silencers are equipped with 16 bara design pressure diffuser in a carbon steel casing 6 meters high with 2.5 meters diameter, capable to achieve a residual sound pressure level of 90 dB(A) at 3 m from equipment. Stopson Italiana’s blow-off silencers are based on a combined reactive and absorptive principle for noise reduction: the gases expand to atmospheric pressure through an horizontal large-holes perforated diffuser, providing a first step in attenuation while allowing any debris to flow out, then evolves into a sound-absorbing lining section to further contribute to reach required noise residual level.

The 1 GW New Assiut plant and 500 MW West Damietta plant have gone through a substantial upgrade with the addition of steam turbine modules recovering heat from existing Gas Turbines. This 750 MW addition over the two plants will take the total capacity to 2.25 GW, further contributing to helping meet the increasing demand for power in the country.

Stopson Italiana’s offering for plant Blow-off cleaning does include a various range of products and services:

• Engineering for Blow-off
• Blow silencers
• Steam blow flange
• Spectacle flanges with gaskets
• Demi water pumps
• Gate and globe valves
• Thermocouples
• Temperature and Pressure transmitters
• Pneumatic target plates inserters
• Installation
• Blow-off Supervision
