Abstract
Assessment of noise impact on surrounding residential area becomes one of mandatory requirements prior to construction of the facilities. Industrial and international standards provide a method of comprehensive assessment for huge plant. These standards, however, does not give the cost information of noise control. Some papers present methods of noise assessment including costs of noise control for petroleum and petrochemical plants, but not for LNG plant. This paper investigates the costs of noise control for LNG plant and proposes the method of comprehensive noise assessment including costs. It also contains the problems involved in the methods.
