10th December 2012; this is the date to be remembered as the end of a path lasting about two years.
This path starter with a selection of potential providers, then the awarding to Sea Marconi of a very tough international tender, for the fabrication of the plant, the shipment to the very far away and frigid Mongolia (now at – 30 ° C). and finally the official inauguration.
The ceremony was held at a specialised centre organised by the national Mongolian power company, which shall operate the plant. The participants included the Mongolian Minister of Energy (Mr M. Sonompil), the Minister of the Environment (Mrs. S. Oyun), the representative for UNIDO (Mr. A. Adegboyega), the director of the national electricity network (Mr. J. Ravdandorj) besides Vander Tumiatti for Sea Marconi. The project “Environmental protection through the reduction and elimination of dangerous substances such as PCBs in the oil of transformers” implemented in Mongolia thanks to the support by UNIDO/GEF provides a full response to what required by the Convention of Stockholm relative to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).
Sea Marconi supplied an extremely innovative decontamination/dehalogenation plant (with training, education and continuous support) that can be easily used both as a stationary system for the decontamination of oils in tanks and as a mobile plant for on-site interventions (please read the preceding article) near the transformers to be dehalogenated. The plant uses the proprietary technology CDP Process®, complying not only with the International Directives, but also ensuring, at the same time, BAT/BEP (Best Available Technique / Best Environmental Practice) for the decontamination/detoxification of transformers and oils (both at end-of-life and in operation) contaminated by PCBs. The performances of our system provide the integrated treatment for depolarisation, decontamination, dehalogenation with a residual concentration of PCBs of just 2 mg/kg, fully complying also with international norms.
Sea Marconi confirms its leadership in providing sustainable solutions such as the “GreenPro Transfo” line, supporting the holders of electrical equipment with insulating oils and PCBs during the entire life cycle (SMART LCM – Life Cycle Management). The Sea Marconi’s approach always keeps faith with the respect for the environment by proposing solutions providing the conservation of resources (equipment and oils) during the operational phase and at end-of-life.
In doing so, it is possible to prevent the disposal/incineration of enormous amounts of contaminated fluids and equipment with the subsequent release of CO2 into the atmosphere.
