EDF, the energy giant, confirms the confidence in Sea Marconi by extending two frame agreements. The first agreement, signed in January 2009 and just extended for two more years, EDF allocates to Sea Marconi the monitoring of the state of the health of its electrical equipment through the analysis and diagnosis of the insulating fluids they contain. The second agreement, instead, extended through 31^stNovember 2014, involves the emergency response by Sea Marconi in case of environmental crises linked with EDF transformers contaminated by PCBs.

Thus, Sea Marconi is taking over the continuous monitoring of the life cycle of the power transformers, strategic equipment for the production of nuclear, thermal and hydro-electrical power, as well as its transportation and distribution. Sea Marconi demonstrates once more unique qualities in providing services to groups with a primary importance at international level:

• Forty years experience with a data bank with over 50,000 pieces of electrical equipment analysed and over 150,000 diagnoses issued
• Being an interface independent from repair shops, manufacturers of equipment and producers of insulating liquids
• High quality (certified ISO 9001, IEC 17025, accredited by Accredia for gas (DGA), furans, PCBs, PCTs, PCBTs, water tests
• Advanced laboratory instrumentation, competent and motivated personnel with experience achieved also in the participation to international normative groups
• Very short response delays with emergency response between 2 and 24 hours
• Innovation, development of new analytical methods and advanced diagnostics (i.e. method for the simultaneous determination of DGA and SF6 on the same insulating liquid for high voltage bushings with two compartments: oil and SF6)

The agreement between Sea Marconi and EDF continues, since, thanks to the brilliant results obtained by our technology CDP Process) for the dehalogenation of transformers with PCBs, the current exclusive agreement already in effect for over three years has been renewed.

CDP Process by Sea Marconi, is the only technology operating in continuous, closed-loop mode, without draining even partially the transformer that, besides decontaminating the oil bringing it to optimised operating conditions (in compliance with IEC 60422 Ed. 3 2005) provides also a “cleaning” of the particulate deposited at the bottom and on the insulating papers.

At the end of the intervention, the results obtained are certified by diagnostic tests (Deosvision) and SINAL-ILAC credited tests for PCBs, PCTs, PCBTs in compliance with standards IEC 60422 Ed. 3 2005 for the chemical and physical parameters and EN 50503, EN 12766-3:2004, UNI EN 12766-3:2005 with the indication of the measurement uncertainty for each test.
