CHP installation soundproofing
Benteltom in Oud Turnhout (The Netherlands) is a tomato grower occupying around 30,000 m2. The greenhouses are partly heated using a CHP installation. A CHP installation combines heat and electricity generation. The heat released is used to heat the greenhouses.
The powerful engine of the CHP installation must not emit too much noise. An acoustic enclosure offers the ideal solution. Alara-Lukagro supplied and installed an external acoustic enclosure for Benteltom.

- Five soundproof entry/emergency exit doors
The panels were treated with a powder coating. The project was a turnkey delivery.
Noise requirement achieved with enclosure
Alara-Lukagro always establishes the maximum achievable noise reduction per project using the proposed requirements and specifications and guarantees that the desired noise reduction will be achieved for the projects. The sound pressure level at the Benteltom CHP enclosure is 65 dB at one metre from the enclosure, which is also consistent with the established requirement.
