Exhaust Paint | Silencer Paint

Silencers are made to provide solutions to customers’ acoustic, emission, and filtration control issues for engines and air movement equipment. The selection of the correct type of engine intake and exhaust silencer is determined by the type of engine, the end use of the engine and the degree of silencing required. These silencers can get hot while in use while also getting surface rust and corrosion due to weathering and high operating temperatures. Silencers are used in different industries and come in many types.

Power Generation

Silencers are used in this Industry manufactured for acoustic, emission and filtration purposes for gas turbines and diesel engines in stationary and portable power generation applications. These silencers are used for noise control, structural integrity, back pressure minimization, thermal management, emissions treatment and flow distribution optimization.

Oil & Gas

Silencers are manufactured for oil and gas exploration, distribution and processing. These are used for all air and exhaust needs. Examples of these are exhaust, vent, blower, emission treatment systems. Turbines engines and compressors are used by pipelines and distributors to move product or boost the powder from one station to the other. Meeting noise and emission requirements while achieving the maximum production is critical. Silencers in the oil and gas industries these stations will generate a large amount of noise and emissions which can be bothersome and hazardous to the residents within the area and workers on the job site. Excessive dust, moisture, salt water and heat are also created with these systems.

Marine

Silencers and exhaust systems are also produced for marine applications. The marine market which is large and diverse has all different types of needs with small power boats, yachts and to large tankers and government combat ships. Each vessel has a different mean of propulsion which is structured around a gas or steam turbine (boiler) or a diesel engine. Marine exhaust systems require inlet air to make sure the highest power output is maintained while keeping maintenance to a minimum.

Locomotive

Silencers and Exhaust systems are also made for locomotives. The need for this industry is cost effective acoustic, emission and filtration system design and production.

Industrial Processing

Noise control, exhaust, silencers and air filtration systems are manufactured for industrial processing industries worldwide. These systmes are usually manufactured customized to the needs of the end user. Air moving equipment such as blowers, engines, pumps and compressors generate noise which is irritating and hazardous. Noise is common to other industries such as consumer goods, water treatment, plastics, power, paper, material handling, chemicals, food and beverage processing.

Waste Water

Exhaust systems and silencers are also manufactured and supplied to the waste water industry. These systems are usually located in populated areas, noise treatment is important. Air intake silencers and exhaust silencers for blowers are usually made custom to the users’ needs. Listed below are the different types of systems produced for the above listed industries.

Gas Turbine & Exhaust Systems

The air and exhaust needs for a turbine can be complex. There is a need for noise reduction, air treatment, back pressure minimization and temperature management. A turbine generator is a big investment.  These systems should also be protected with a paint/coating that will resist high temperatures, corrosion and weathering.

Blower Silencers

Blower silencers are required for industrial processing and waste water treatment. Silencers are needed on any blower installation. The size of the blower silencer depends on the gas volume. The silencer must be made considering the size and operating speed of the blower.

Absorptive Silencers

The absorptive silencer controls noise by absorbing noise using packing materials. As sound pass through the spaces between these fibers of the material the viscous friction will dissipate the sound energy.

Vent Silencers

These are used with systems that have a pressure valve. Applications for vent silencers are used in oil and gas processing, industrial processing, heat recovery systems, chemical processing and steam boilers. These silencers are used with air, steam and gas vents to the atmosphere where conditions exist in the valve.

Industrial Fan Silencers

Fans are used in many applications such as HVAC, industrial and processing. Devices require parts that rotate while noise can become an issue. Air fans create noise and often need silencers.

Engine Exhaust Silencers

Exhaust systems create heat, noise and also need silencers. These silencers are used in the power, marine, residential, hospital, logging and construction equipment, agricultural machinery, trucks, airport equipment, forestry and military vehicles.

As mentioned, there are many different silencers for different industries and applications. These silencers need to be protected with a paint or protective coating which is corrosion and heat resistant.
