We are particularly proud to be able to recount another positive update in the “PCBs free Program for Japan” project: the arrival of the first order for the development of a system (DMU) for the dehalogenation of oils and transformers contaminated by PCBs. To completely understand the extraordinary nature of this news, we need to take a look at theLeia mais

In accordance with the IEC 62701 standard (Fluids for electrotechnical applications – Recycledmineral insulating oils for transformers and switchgear), Sea Marconi has developed an ad hoc project for one of the most important European suppliers of transformer oils. The project involves the implementation of a system for the assessment (technical-economical and environmental) of insulating oil properties before and after their reclamation (oil regeneration). InLeia mais

The partnership between Sea Marconi and local partner “Energy Solution SA DE CV“, a subsidiary of the NIETO group and an important player in the Mexican Oil & Gas sector, is enjoying great success. In 2014, the Sea Marconi process for the treatment of oils and transformers contaminated by PCBs, was successfully validated. The activity was performed in Torreón onLeia mais

Scenario Hydro Power Plant The transformer is located near a river dam with extreme logistical and environmental constraints. The option of changing the oil was discarded immediately because of the enormous difficulties in handling (see. Photo) around the transformer. At the same time the fuller earth techniques would not solve the functional criticalities of the system “oil – transformer”. NameplateLeia mais
