Hong Kong appoints Sea Marconi to verify DBDS corrosion levels in their transformers

Wednesday February 25th, 2015

Sea Marconi recently performed an expert activity for the most important utility in Hong Kong. The service involved an analysis and diagnosis campaign on a large fleet of transformers and shunt reactors, for the purpose of verifying the presence of corrosive sulphur by DBDS (C1).

The results of this activity allowed us to model the operating conditions of the Client’s machines and subsequently propose the only truly efficient and long-lasting solution for equipment contaminated by DBDS (Dibenzyl Disulfide): selective depolarisation (also possible on-load) to remove the DBDS. Given the potential risk of the C1 criticality, this activity is considered strategic for the prevention of damage and to protect the environment in an energy-consuming context such as Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a region with 7,000,000 inhabitants and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong is in fact the most vertical city in the world. Its inhabitants have one of the highest per-capita incomes in the world, and continuing its long list of records, it has the highest percentage (more than 90%) of public transport means in the world.
