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 technologies for the production of bio-energy and bio-products.

COP 12 has been an ideal showcase to present the latest developments of our researches.

In Fact, on 4th December 2012, in the Europe pavilion, one of the most reputable experts of ecology and climate changes, the Noble Prize Prof. Riccardo Valentini, illustrated the concept of the BioEnPro project by Sea Marconi.

BioEnPro is a combination of technologies finalised toward the production of bioenergy and products from municipal wastes in a totally self-sustainable manner, at Zero Km, Zero Waste, CO2 negative, creating new jobs (Green jobs).

At the eighth “Regional Conference for national committees of CIGRE in the Arab Countries” (www.gcc-cigre-power.com), in Doha (Qatar) from 18th through 20th October Sea Marconi provided really innovative solutions.

The most important is surely the kit SM-TCS (Total Corrosive Sulfur), the unique really effective response for the total quantitative determination of corrosive compounds of sulfur. These compounds are indeed the main culprits for catastrophic failures on transformers, reactors, under-load tap changers and bushes, occurred in the last ten years in several Countries around the World.

The Conference of the Gulf Countries involved hundreds of experts coming also from outside the Middle-East area, offering the opportunity to share the state of the art in the management of fleets of strategic equipment, in the generation, transportation and distribution of electric power, as well as in desalinating and making water drinkable.

Vander Tumiatti (Ass. Secretary IEC TC 10) presented “DBDS & Corrosion free” Programme 2010: diagnosis and countermeasures. Quantitative determination and selective depolarisation.
