The depolarisation from corrosive sulfur in the desert of Atacama in Chile has been concluded successfully

Chile depolarisation. One of the most “extreme” missions performed by Sea Marconi has been concluded successfully: the treatment of 6 transformers in the desert of Atacama in Chile, the driest place in the world, at 9,000 feet altitude with a temperature range between day and night of more than 30 °C. Our operational engineers were able to adapt to really difficult conditions such

New international accreditation of the Sea Marconi analysis and research laboratory

After the accreditation of the test of PCBs in February 2009, Sea Marconi has obtained last November 2010 from ACCREDIA a brilliant confirmation, by extending the accreditation to the tests of dissolved gases (DGA*, dissolved water and furanic compounds)* (see here below the detail of the accredited tests). Created form the combination of SINAL and SINCERT, ACCREDIA is the only organism authorised by the Italian State to perform
