The proposed line would be an 8-inch diameter steel pipe and would deliver gas to the site at approximately 500 psig.

Sound is generated in the process of taking air into the engine and returning it to the atmosphere. The most obvious sources of noise will be the turbine air inlets exhaust systems and enclosures. Other sources of noise will include the exhaust ducting, lubrication oil cooler fans and transformers.
