Following an invitation by institutional authorities and local Utilities, from 29th March through 1st April 2011, Vander Tumiatti was in the Philippines as an expert in the management of electrical equipment with insulating oils.
The archipelago of the Philippines includes over 7,000 islands; the economy has a considerable expansion and for this reason, policies for energy efficiency are required to prevent or to mitigate functional or environmental damages to the energy networks, already visibly stressed.
After importing for decades electric transformers from the West, currently the Philippines apply environmental protection policies within the UNIDO and UNEP program.
During the meetings organised in the cities of Manila and Davao, Vander Tumiatti illustrated the “PCBs Free Program”, the solution by Sea Marconi for the inventory, control, management and decontamination of electric transformers contaminated by PCBs, in compliance with the Convention of Stockholm and the technical norms of the sector: CENELEC CLC/TR 50503, IEC 60422 Ed. 3.
Sea Marconi is an international leader in the management of electrical equipment with PCBs, in the domain of production, transportation, distribution and use of electric power thanks to the CDP Process®, the BAT/BEP also contained by the
Also, in the last 10 years, high voltage strategic equipment (transformers and reactors) have used naphtenic based mineral insulating oils containing DBDS, the main responsible for damages generically attributed to corrosive sulphur. This condition represents a concrete risk, as pointed out by Sea Marconi since 2005 and as formalised by the Brochure CIGRE no. 378 (April 2009). For this topic, Sea Marconi is able to provide a targeted response thanks to the “DBDS & Corrosion Free Program”, the solution allowing the mitigation of risks associated with the presence of corrosive sulphur, by returning the oil and the transformer to optimised conditions.
