Title: Reduce air emissions from compressors and pump motors to alleviate high emissions.
Text: Facilities: Emissions: "Operators who find methods to reduce air emissions from compressors and pump motors can alleviate this concern. Besides providing noise reduction, mufflers on diesel and gas engines reduce emissions to the atmosphere. The use of electric and hydraulic motors to operate pumps and compressors could also be used to reduce emissions."
