Process Controls Corporation (PCC) offers Burgess-Manning acoustical shrouds for industrial noise-control applications where large equipment surfaces, structural areas, or exposed equipment contribute to unwanted noise.
Unlike inline silencers that treat sound within a process, duct, or piping path, acoustical shrouds are structural noise-control solutions applied on or around the source area.
Acoustical shrouds may be used when near-field or far-field noise requirements call for treatment around noisy surfaces rather than only at an inlet, outlet, vent, or exhaust point.

Burgess-Manning shroud solutions are modular and may be connected directly to systems such as HRSGs or configured as free-standing structures with independent support. This allows the shroud approach to be adapted around the equipment layout, access needs, and overall noise-control strategy.
For large surface areas, Burgess-Manning acoustical shrouds and related panel or lagging systems may be considered for HRSGs, inlet ducts, and other industrial structures where surface-radiated noise must be addressed. Modular construction also allows sections to be demounted and reinstalled when access to covered equipment is required. Natural ventilation considerations can be incorporated into the shroud design to help address heat buildup around enclosed or partially enclosed areas.
PCC can help evaluate acoustical shrouds as part of a broader industrial noise-control approach. Contact PCC for assistance reviewing your equipment layout, source-noise concerns, access requirements, and available integration options.
Key Characteristics
- Structural noise-control solution for surfaces, equipment, and large industrial areas
- Distinct from inline silencers, vent silencers, blowdown silencers, and process silencers
- May be applied on or around equipment that emits unwanted noise
- Modular configurations can be connected to existing systems or designed as free-standing structures
- Suitable for consideration around HRSGs, inlet ducts, and other large surface areas when supported by project requirements
- Demountable and reinstallable sections can help preserve access to shrouded equipment
- Natural ventilation design considerations may be incorporated to help reduce heat buildup
- Can be evaluated alongside other Burgess-Manning acoustic products when a broader noise-control approach is needed
Ideal Applications
- Industrial equipment with surface-radiated noise concerns
- HRSG structures and inlet duct areas
- Large surface areas requiring acoustic treatment
- Applications where a shroud or enclosure-style approach is more appropriate than an inline silencer
- Projects requiring access to covered equipment after installation
- Situations where a free-standing acoustic structure may be preferred over direct attachment
