The Propagation of Noise from Petroleum and Petrochemical Complexes to Neighbouring Communities

摘要

A model has been developed which enables noise levels from petroleum and petrochemical complexes to be predicted over large distances, varying terrain, and for a range of meteorological conditions. Where direct comparison with existing prediction techniques is possible this new model has been shown experimentally to be significantly more accurate. In addition prediction is possible for a range of meteorological conditions for which no current technique is available. (Copyright (c) CONCAWE 1981.)
