In-line silencers: Groupe BOËT’s solution for noise control in industry

In industries such as nuclear power, petrochemicals, food processing and pharmaceuticals, noise generated by pressurized piping networks is a major risk. It not only affects the health of personnel, but also compromises regulatory compliance, equipment integrity and overall acoustic comfort on site.

Noise sources come from both the moving fluid and the pipe structure (structure-borne noise). This noise propagates through the installations, creating a major nuisance. Reducing industrial noise is therefore becoming a priority for the safety and overall performance of the site.

The strategic role of in-line silencers

Groupe BOËT’s in-line silencers can be integrated directly into piping systems. They enable noise to be treated at source, effectively reducing the acoustic nuisance associated with Roots blowers, compressors, valves or noisy industrial machines.

These industrial silencers are custom-designed to meet the acoustic, vibratory and mechanical requirements of ICPE industrial sites and demanding sectors such as wastewater treatment plants, pneumatic conveying and industrial process acoustics.

Two complementary acoustic principles

Groupe BOËT acoustic silencers are based on two main effects:

Reactive effect: thanks to expansion chambers, resonators, multiple tubes. This technology is ideal for fiber-free configurations (100% reactive mufflers).

Dissipative effect: use of high-performance sound-absorbing materials, resistant to erosion and thermal stress.

The combination of these principles results in a noise reduction of 10 to 40 dB, depending on the network configuration. Acoustic dimensioning is carried out with precision using industrial acoustic studies, modal analyses, acoustic simulations and vibration studies (pulsations, mechanical fatigue, resonances).

Robust design for extreme environments

Each silencer is designed to provide lasting acoustic protection for industrial installations. Design criteria include :

Resistance to pulsating pressure and structural vibration

Consideration of natural frequencies (acoustic and mechanical)

Adaptable to high temperatures and corrosive fluids

Integration of mechanical reinforcements according to network constraints

Groupe Boët uses advanced simulation tools (such as ANSYS) to guarantee industrial acoustic safety and long-term reliability.
