Chile depolarisation. One of the most “extreme” missions performed by Sea Marconi has been concluded successfully: the treatment of 6 transformers in the desert of Atacama in Chile, the driest place in the world, at 9,000 feet altitude with a temperature range between day and night of more than 30 °C.
Our operational engineers were able to adapt to really difficult conditions such as for example, total isolation, the altitude, climatic conditions. Correlated news.
In details, the activity performed by our engineers has been the selective depolarisation from corrosive sulfur (C1 – DBDS & Corrosive Sulfur) on very large transformers, almost 120 tons of oil for each piece of equipment (250 MVA, 345 KV).
The Customer, AES an American multi-national in the energy field, really demonstrated its appreciation for the job done by Sea Marconi. Shortly, in fact, a “4-hands paper” that AES shall present as a case history of best practice for the management of the corrosive sulfur problem is going to be issued.
The mission in Chile emphasised and saw the situation first-handed the effectiveness of the sustainable solutions by Sea Marconi for the Life Cycle Management also in South America. This success has already echoed in Colombia, Panama and Uruguay, where the Chedcos depolarisation by Sea Marconi is going to be adopted as a really effective response to the problem of the corrosivity of insulating oils.
