The partnership between Sea Marconi and local partner “Energy Solution SA DE CV“, a subsidiary of the NIETO group and an important player in the Mexican Oil & Gas sector, is enjoying great success.
In 2014, the Sea Marconi process for the treatment of oils and transformers contaminated by PCBs, was successfully validated. The activity was performed in Torreón on a 33,000 kg oil transformer in on-load mode for the entire duration of the treatment.
The transformer belongs to the Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), which provided a positive verdict not only for the performance of the process, but also having understood and appreciated the potential of Sea Marconi systems for integrated treatments. This terminology implies the possibility to “restore” numerous critical properties in the oil and transformer, in the same unit of treatment. The latest generation DMUs (Decontamination Mobile Unit) by Sea Marconi, including the one used in Mexico, are able to resolve both critical issues tied to PCB contamination and those tied to corrosive sulphur or the acidity (a symptom of ageing) of the oil.
