PCBs: inventory, determination, analysis, and treatment/decontamination

The management of equipment and oils contaminate by PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) requires basic knowledge of this substance, but above all requires knowledge of the rules and laws regulating this matter (IEC, CENELEC, Stockholm Convention, etc.).This training course is designed for exactly this purpose and is aimed primarily at developing countries.It will address, for example, inventory and control obligations, without neglecting the decontamination or disposal techniques for PCB-contaminated equipment.
The course is run with a practical approach, with the aim of giving tools to those who really need to implement a PCB management system. This approach is greatly appreciated by participants; in fact, Sea Marconi frequently provides courses to international bodies under the auspices of the World Development Organisation.

Sea Marconi is an international leader in this field, and has developed a technology, the CDP Process®, recognised as the best available technique (BAT) for decontamination of in-service and end-of-life transformers.Due to its recognised expertise in this field, Sea Marconi is part of the PCB Elimination Network (PEN) established in 2009 within the ambit of the Stockholm Convention.
