FAIST Anlagenbau - Noise Control Products, and Air-Intake and Exhaust Systems

FAIST is a well established company that specialises in finding noise control solutions for a wide range of applications worldwide. Our noise control products and services cover acoustic enclosures, air-intake and exhaust systems, control rooms and noise havens, rectangular and circular silencers, screening, acoustic louvers, acoustic doors and integrated systems.

A privately owned company since 1904, FAIST has become an experienced supplier of noise control systems for power plants as well as for many other key industries, such as the automotive, mechanical engineering and print markets.

Noise control and ventilation for turbines

FAIST provides state-of-the-art solutions in noise control and ventilation for turbines (gas/steam) and engines based upon many years of experience. We look at every aspect of the noise solution, providing customer solutions from survey to design, manufacture, installation and finally commissioning. We have created very effective systems to meet the high standards of our customers.

Enclosure ventilation is a very important aspect in the treatment of power plant enclosures. Ventilation air must be carefully determined and treated to meet equipment requirements in normal as well as extreme ambient air conditions. The advantages of our noise control and ventilation systems include the following:

• Each acoustic panel can be easily removed
• Easy turbine maintenance
• Rapid exchange of large components
• Professional selection and design of the ventilation system
• Permanent development of our products due to long-term agreements with our customers

Sound insulation for power plants

Compact packages are the best solution for power plants in the lower power output range. FAIST sound insulation provides many vital advantages, including:

• Hardware installed on site within three working days
• All components pre-assembled at our plant
• Mechanical acceptance check of sound hood and filter housing
• Rapid and easy start-up thanks to pre-fitted gas turbine enclosure and air intake connections
• Significant cost saving for the completed package
• Explosion-proof components for compact packages
• Clean room conditions in the area between the filter housing and sound hood, minimizing turbine inhalation of unwanted dirt and debris, which greatly reduces the possibility of turbine damage

Air-intake / exhaust systems

The FAIST modular system offers design flexibility for multistage (static) filters with compact pre-filter and fine filter or self-cleaning pulse filter systems. Whether installations are offshore, on the coast or inland, maximum standardized project solutions are obtained for our air-intake / exhaust systems.

FAIST’s air-intake and exhaust systems have the following benefits:

• Cost optimization through standardization
• Special baffle design to significantly reduce pressure drop with improved noise reduction.
• Higher gas turbine output and higher unit profits by lower pressure drop
• Cooled intake air for perfect turbine performance at higher temperatures

Worldwide network for customized noise control

FAIST’s international distributor network assures:

• Easy availability worldwide
• Global sourcing
• After sales service with 24hr hotline
• Globally acting key customers, such as Alstom, Siemens, MAN, Kawasaki
