The EDF client’s request for a solution for control of bushings with oil and SF6, used as accessories of generation transformers, has been concluded with great success. Sea Marconi’s response has recently been converted into a three-year contract for representative sampling and diagnostics of bushings and insulating fluids. These activities are an exclusive competence of Sea Marconi and, for this purpose, we have recentlyRead more

Turin, 14 April 2014 In Turin, Sea Marconi innovates together with the Polytechnic and Universities BioAlma Workshop – 15 April 2014 at 4 p.m. at AGORÀ I3P, Via P. C. Boggio 59 – Turin In Turin, after FIAT, which pioneered the use of bioethanol for sustainability mobility (starting from Brazil) and Slow Food initiatives for valorisation of the territory, the BioAlma projectRead more

The month of March marked the start of a path for possible cooperation with a partner active on the Nigerian market. The partnership would involve the supply of solutions for life cycle management of fleets of machines with insulating oils such as transformers, reactors, etc. These appliances are strategic assets for functioning of energy generation, transport and distribution networks all over theRead more

In mid-December 2013, Sea Marconi responded with pride to the invitation to go to Russia to offer support in managing the PCBs problem, with respect to the Stockholm Convention. The activity was born under the auspices of UNIDO, but a local operator already exists charged with the development of a pilot project on the contaminated (and non) equipment of the railway network of theRead more

Among the interesting outlooks at the end of 2013 there is the acquisition of an important order issued by the Brazilian TAESA, one of the largest groups for the transmission of electric power in Brazil. The subject of the sale is a containerised mobile unit (DMU) capable of performing an integrated treatment of the oil and transformers contaminated by corrosive sulfur, with a flowRead more

Among the “crown jewels” interventions of 2013, the selective depolarisation to remove the DBDS and polar compounds on 5 transformers must indeed be mentioned. In particular, the activity took place on 4 transformers and a rectifier (for a total of 170 tons of oil) operating at the Urrà, hydroelectric power station North-Western Colombia (read the article relative to the operation start). The said powerRead more

For Sea Marconi 2013 ended with very interesting outlooks; one of these involves the opportunity offered by Mexico, engaged in the project for the destruction of PCBs: Environmentally Sound Management and Destruction of PCBs in Mexico. The project, started in 2009, involves the joint effort by the Ministry of Environment and natural resources (SEMARNAT), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UNDP (United NationsRead more

In the city of Salto (Uruguay) on 10, 11 and 12 November 2013 the International Power Transformer Workshop organised by CUGRE (Comite Uruguayo De Grandes Redes Electrica), the Uruguayan CIGRE took place. Sea Marconi has been invited to the event as international expert on the phenomena of degradation of the insulating liquids, on the topic of corrosion in general and in particular on the type C3Read more

Project LORVER Homécourt, 16th December 2013. Upon ending the tests of the system and with the official delivery to the Authorities of the French Region of Lorraine, another important step of the LORVER Project (i.e. Lorraine-Verte) is concluded. This project (STD_IMP_200/11 of 8/11/2011) has as objective the development of an experimental pyrolysis system providing the transformation of potentially contaminated biomasses into bioenergyRead more

Quite shortly, the activities for the selective depolarisation from corrosive sulfur (on-load and off-load) on 4 step-up transformers and a rectifier at the hydroelectric power station Urrà in Northern Colombia, department of Còrdoba. The hydroelectric production company Urrà chose the selective depolarisation by Sea Marconi after the failures occurred after passivation. Once again passivation showed to be a ruinous response to the problem of corrosivity ofRead more
