Wheelabrator Saugus to install improved silencer system
Wicked Local
Wheelabrator Saugus plans to have a new silencer system in place this spring that will reduce the noise coming from the trash-to-energy plant when steam must be vented.
Wheelabrator Vice Preisdent of Environmental, Health & Safety James Connolly informed the Wheelabrator Subcommittee that the drag valve silencer system is expected to result in a direct and significant improvement for noise levels when steam is vented at the facility.
As part of the process of converting waste into energy at Wheelabrator, high-temperature steam is produced and directed to the turbine to generate electricity for the local power grid.
