On 19th December 2012, Sea Marconi participated to the presentation of the new Dipartimento Department of Sciences for Life Quality Studies – QUVI. The new department, located in Rimini, originates from the Alma Mater University of Bologna, the oldest university in history.The inauguration event started the scientific collaboration between Sea Marconi and the new Department, which within the Smart Cities and Smart Farms projects,Read more

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 – 30Read more

During the last week in November, Sea Marconi received a delegation coming from the Philippines. The Sea Marconi’s experts have visited the Republic of the Philippines several times (we have already reported in April 2011 the official invitation to Vander Tumiatti as expert in the management and decontamination of electrical equipment with insulating fluids) and thanks to the competency provided, the projectRead more

The COP 18, the eighteenth UN conference on climate changes has just been over in Doha (Qatar). Vander Tumiatti participated to the conference as an official member of the Italian delegation. Sea Marconi is always in favour of topics linked to the protection of the environment and, most recently, it oriented part of its research toward the development of sustainable technologiesRead more

The latest number of the IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (vol. 19 No. 5 October 2012), the prestigious IEEE publication, published the study by Sea Marconi in collaboration with the University of Missouri Rolla.Our work clarifies and makes the point about methods of quantification of sulfur compounds in used and unused oils. The title of our article is “IEC 62697-2012: State ofRead more

Sea Marconi engineers are currently engaged in Selective Depolarisation from corrosive sulfur (Chedcos) on 6 Power Transformers in Chile.The region is Antofagasta, in more detail, the transformers are installed near the Atacama desert, the driest place on the planet, at 3000 meters above sea level with a temperature range between night and day over 30 °C.Sea Marconi started the treatment about three weeks ago andRead more

On 7th November 2012. at the specialised centre organised by the company RADE KONCAR in Skopje (Macedonia), the plant developed by Sea Marconi for the decontamination and recovery of oils and transformer contaminated by PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls) has been inaugurated. The project for the “environmental protection through the reduction and the elimination of dangerous substances such as PCBs in the oil of transformers”Read more

Last August, a new and really useful norm has been published to better understand the “corrosive sulfur problem”; it is IEC 62697 ed.1 entitled “Test methods for quantitative determination of corrosive sulfur compounds in unused and used insulating liquids”. Particularly enlightening is the introduction of the standard (downloadable for the IEC website), in which, for the first time in the normative field, the DBDSRead more

A few days ago the fabrication of a plant for Mongolia, finalised toward the dehalogenation of electrical equipment with insulating liquids contaminated by PCBs was completed. This plant is of a DMU (Decontamination Mobile Unit) type with extremely innovative configuration and technical solutions. It is a plant made of two modules designed and developed in a manner allowing the operators to work insideRead more

Sea Marconi has recently started in Sweden a campaign for the decontamination treatment from PCBs with the ambitious target of 2 mg/Kg (ppm w/w). The activity, which shall have a total duration of about four months, involves the complete dehalogenation of 8 transformers with 15 tons of oil each at an important industrial site in Central Sweden. The Customer has chosen the “on-load” treatmentRead more
