The first relations between Sea Marconi and Vietnam date back to 2003, when a technological cooperation agreement was signed on “Clean Technologies” between the European Commission and Asian area.
Twelve years later, last 11th and 12th May 2015, we were pleased to host a delegation of the Vietnamese national electricity company, EVN*. Their objective was to select the best technology available for the decontamination of oils and transformers contaminated by PCBs in the context of a broader project, UNIDO. Sea Marconi has already responded to these types of requests (e.g.: Macedonia project) and welcomes them into its production process as a core business activity.
On the first day, two companies were introduced along with a detailed presentation of Sea Marconi’s oil analysis methodology, on thediagnosis of criticalities of electrical equipment (operational and environmental) and on theonsite decontamination of transformers with PCBs. On the second day, the delegation was accompanied during a visit to the IREN power station in north Turin, and when it returned to Sea Marconi, was able to go into more detail on our laboratory analysis and the department for oil treatment systems, designed and produced in-house.
As experts in this sector, the Vietnamese guests appreciated the Sea Marconi approach focused on the protection of assets and the environmentand the possibility to develop integrated treatments, capable of “sanitising” multiple criticalities in the oil, both chemical and physical, such as water, gas, PCBs and DBDS, in a single treatment on the transformer.
The encounter was concluded with an invitation to Sea Marconi to learn more about the theme of fighting PCBs in Hanoi in July 2015.
