Burgess-Manning
Industrial Silencers for Effective Noise Control Solutions
Supporting Our Customers to Make Their Facilities Quiet and Clean.
Industrial noise suppression solutions are crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency in a variety of industries. Burgess-Manning – also known as Burgess-Aarding – industrial silencers are a trusted choice for addressing this need.
At Burgess-Manning, we are dedicated to helping our customers tackle noise issues with our advanced silencing technology. In manufacturing and production settings, noise levels can increase dramatically, making noise control essential to ensure the safety of your workforce and the surrounding community.
Sources of noise in industrial settings include the venting of high-pressure gas during emergency shutdowns, as well as the intake and exhaust systems of engines, compressors, turbines, turbochargers and vacuum pumps. Safety and control valves that experience large pressurfine drops can also generate noise issues at remote distances, as the noise travels inside and radiates through the connected piping network.
Our ongoing research and development efforts focus on creating advanced silencing solutions for industries such as Power & Energy, Petrochemical, Aero Engine, Gas Transmission and other industrial settings. With over 200,000 silencer units installed worldwide, Burgess-Manning remains at the forefront of the industry.
Headquartered in the Netherlands, with additional offices in the United States, United Kingdom and Singapore, Burgess-Manning is equipped to serve clients across all time zones. Our robust network of fabrication partners in North America, Europe and Asia ensures we can meet logistical challenges and cater to the unique needs of engineers, plant managers and industrial operators seeking reliable noise control solutions.
Customized Engineered Silencer Solutions for Specific Industry Needs
At Burgess-Manning, we recognize that each industry and application comes with its own set of challenges and requirements for noise control. This understanding drives our commitment to providing custom engineered silencer solutions that cater to the specific operational realities of our clients. Whether the need is for compact designs to fit space-restricted environments or high-performance silencers capable of handling extreme pressure conditions, our expertise allows us to tailor our products accordingly. Our engineering team collaborates closely with clients to ensure the solutions we provide are not only effective but also efficient in operation and maintenance, thereby reducing long-term costs and minimizing downtime.
A Rich History of Innovation and Excellence
The roots of Burgess-Manning’s pioneering noise control technology trace back to the early 20th century, marking a legacy of continual innovation and dedication to excellence. Burgess (Manning) was originally founded in 1910 and emerged as a leader in industrial noise control by developing the first industrial silencer in 1928. This pivotal advancement laid the foundation for the company’s future endeavors and set a benchmark in noise control technology.
Throughout the decades, Burgess-Manning expanded its expertise and product offerings, consistently setting new standards for quality and performance. By integrating Aarding, a Dutch company renowned for its specialization in gas turbine exhaust systems and silencers for the power industry, Burgess-Manning fortified its position as a global leader.
The recent acquisition of Wakefield Acoustics in 2023 exemplifies the company’s ongoing commitment to adaptive growth and leadership in industrial silencer solutions. By leveraging over a century of accumulated experience and expertise, Burgess-Manning continues to deliver cutting-edge noise control technologies tailored to meet the evolving needs of diverse industries worldwide.
NOISE – THE OTHER POLLUTION
Noise is often overlooked as a source of major pollution. It can cause physical damage as well as psychological issues.
Burgess-Manning, a CECO Environmental brand, offers leading expertise within industrial acoustics. Our mission is to help make the world cleaner and quieter. We do this by supporting our customers to minimize their acoustical impact.

MIDSTREAM OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION
The terms “upstream” and “downstream” in the oil and gas production industry refer to a company’s location in the supply chain. Companies in the oil and gas industry are usually divided into one of three groups, upstream, downstream, and midstream.
Some companies are “integrated” because they combine the functions of two or three of these streams. Upstream oil and gas production is conducted by companies who identify, extract, or produce raw materials. Downstream oil and gas production companies are closer to the end-user or consumer. Midstream oil operations link the upstream and downstream entities and mostly include resource transportation and storage services for resources, such as pipelines and gathering systems.

BURGESS-MANNING FAQS
Our silencers are meant to reduce if not eliminate the physical and psychological damage to people working at or living near industrial plants as well as minimize the effects of industrial noise on the environment.
Burgess-Manning brand silencers are best suited to the prevention or reduction of noise from fixed installations, as opposed to mobile (over the road) applications. The source of noise could be from an intake or exhaust of an engine, compressor, blower, vacuum pump, turbine, vent/blowdown, control valve, or relief valve. In many cases, our silencers are used where the process is open to atmosphere at the silencer outlet, but we have numerous designs that are equally well-suited to in-process (closed) systems.
In addition to our standard product range, more than 90% of the silencers we deliver are customized to the specific requirements of each customer’s project. Our ability to customize our silencers is key to the success in all aspects of each project. When developing a solution, we not only look at the noise, but also how supply chain affects the project, the cost, and the ability to meet technical requirements. We consider how our design will affect logistics, the actual installation on site, and how the ongoing maintenance will affect the customer.
Our global scale enables us to address five key elements customer concerns:
- Lead time
- Cost
- Local Content
- CO2 Transportation Emissions
- Material Availability
