  "text": "In order to reduce/minimise noise emissions during the manufacturing processes for cement, lime and magnesium oxide, BAT is to use a combination of the following techniques:\nTechnique\na\nSelect an appropriate location for noisy operations\nb\nEnclose noisy operations/units\nc\nUse vibration insulation of operations/units\nd\nUse internal and external lining made of impact-absorbent material\ne\nUse soundproofed buildings to shelter any noisy operations involving material transformation equipment\nf\nUse noise protection walls and/or natural noise barriers\ng\nUse outlet silencers to exhaust stacks\nh\nLag ducts and final blowers which are situated in soundproofed buildings\ni\nClose doors and windows of covered areas\nj\nUse sound insulation of machine buildings\nk\nUse sound insulation of wall breaks, e.g. by installation of a sluice at the entrance point of a belt conveyor\nl\nInstall sound absorbers at air outlets, e.g. the clean gas outlet of dedusting units\nm\nReduce flow rates in ducts\nn\nUse sound insulation of ducts\no\nApply the decoupled arrangement of noise sources and potentially resonant components, e.g. of compressors and ducts\np\nUse silencers for filter fans\nq\nUse soundproofed modules for technical devices (e.g. compressors)\nr\nUse rubber shields for mills (avoiding the contact of metal against metal)\ns\nConstruct buildings or growing trees and bushes between the protected area and the noisy activity",
