Following an invitation by UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization), on 25th August Sea Marconi participated in New Delhi to a technical seminar on the “State of the art of alternative technologies for the management and disposal of PCBs.
The event represented another step (after those already brilliantly achieved) by the UNIDO commissioners evaluating Sea Marconi as a possible supplier for a technological solution finalized toward the management and decontamination of transformers with PCBs in India (inhabitants 1.156.897.766; GNP: 3.288.345 millions $).
Mr. Tumiatti, founder and main partner of Sea Marconi, illustrated in New Delhi the methods and the techniques used by his company, which, thanks to particularly environmentally friendly features, are considered at present as BAT-BEP (Best Environmental Technique – Best Environmental Practice) and designated among NON-Combustion Technologies.
The responses received by the presentation – “PCBs Free” Program: BAT/BEP – Inventory, Control, Management, Decontamination of Electrical Transformer contaminated by PCBs – have been very positive, in particular, the approach provided by Sea Marconi toward the conservation of resources through a complete decontamination of the oils contained by the electrical equipment that can be kept in operation. This means preventing the production of waste, the disposal and incineration, the cost of managing contaminated materials.
Sea Marconi intervenes with its own decontamination units (DMU) eliminating the PCBs from the transformer and the oil, that recovers its optimised dielectric features.
The CDP Process, is performed on-site (also with the transformer in operation) in continuous, closet-loop mode without draining even partially the transformer.
Thanks to the funds budgeted by GEF (Global Environment Facility) and destined to Developing Countries, UNIDO should implement a technology suitable for the decontamination of PCBs and, subsequently, making it available for an Indian national electricity operator.
Sea Marconi is ready to respond effectively with the experience and the know-how developed over 42 years of activity in this sector.
