*Vent stack has not been included in results. The vents are only used for routine
maintenance and for emergencies. During normal operation the flow will be essentially
zero. During an emergency the plant is depressurised in zones, each event is a high flow,
but only for 15 minutes.

Predicted Noise Levels

Extract from scope of BS 4142
The method is not suitable for assessing the noise measured inside buildings or when the
background and rating noise levels are both very low. NOTE. For the purposes of this
standard, background noise levels below about 30 dB and rating levels below about 35 dB
are considered to be very low.
The above extract suggests that BS 4142 may not be applicable for this project as
background noise levels are below 30dB and the highest rating noise level is 37.1 (with
5dB penalty applied).
Table below provides a comparison of levels against BS4142 (with 5dB penalty), World
Health Organisation levels, BS8233 internal noise levels and Minerals Policy Statement 2.
