Various methods can be implemented to reduce high pipeline vibrations in plants. The basic vibration reduction measures available - when the cause of the vibration cannot be reduced further - are isolation, dampening or absorption of the vibration.The design and use of a newly developed, dampened, three-dimensional vibration absorption system (Magic Cube) for pipeline vibrations will be illustrated in the following based on an example case study. Based on the measurement of the actual high vibrations at the pipes in a natural gas compressor plant, the realization and implementation of the absorber system will be described after explaining the theoretical background.
