In the next few days (August 2015) at the Sea Marconi general offices in Collegno (TO), the Ivorian Electricity Company (CEI) will accept and validate their new purchase: the oil and transformer treatment plant DMU 150.B10.
This is the third plant for the Ivory Coast, confirming maximum client satisfaction for the first two plants, which are currently operating throughout the entire Ivorian territory. CEI is in fact a private company, to whom the State has designated the management of generation and transmission plants and the distribution and commercialisation of electrical energy throughout the entire country.
Speaking of the plant’s technical aspects, its objectives are: oil circulation, heating at a pre-set temperature, mechanical filtration of suspended particles in the oil, degassing and vacuum dehydration of oil. The system is able to perform on-load treatments with the transformer energized and loaded, and also includes a richly equipped monitoring system allowing the plant to operate in complete safety, without the permanent presence of an operator.
Unlike previous plants, this latest one has been requested in a containerized configuration, allowing the plant to operate even in the harshest environmental conditions (rain, sand storms, etc.).
The plant is constructed in AISI 304 stainless steel and is fitted with guide slots for forklifts and eye-bolts for crane lifting. All elements of the hydraulic circuit, including the connection points for intake and output, are assembled above an oil collection tank, an additional measure in the case of accidental losses.
