On 29th November 2010, a cognitive meeting took place at the headquarters of Sea Marconi in Collegno (Turin- Italy) with doct. Nurlan Yeskendirov, project manager charged by UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) to evaluate the best solutions for the management of the PCBs problem in the generation, transportation and use of electric power in Kazakhstan.
Talking of natural resources, Kazakhstan is probably the Country with the highest pro-capita wealth in the World: it has 60% of the mineral resources of the ex Soviet Union, with large quantities of iron and coal, besides having oil, natural gas and different metals used by electronic, nuclear and missile industries. Kazakhstan has over 15 million inhabitants, over a surface almost 10 times bigger than our Country and a pro-capita GDP of 11,434 US $ (2008).
Sea Marconi, thanks to the leadership matured in international circles, configures itself as the ideal technological partner by offering BAT – BEP (Best Environmental Technique – Best Environmental Practice) thanks to “PCBs Free” Program: BAT/BEP – Inventory, Control, Management, Decontamination of Electrical Transformer contaminated by PCBs respecting the Stockholm Convention relative to POPs and the CENELEC norm (CLC/TR 50503).
Sea Marconi, which targets toward the conservation of resources through the complete decontamination of the oils contained by electrical equipment that can be kept in operation. This means preventing the production of waste, disposal, incineration, management costs of contaminated materials.
Sea Marconi provides the intervention with decontamination mobile units (DMUs) dehalogenating and detoxifying the PCBs present in the transformer and oil, reinstating optimised dielectric properties in compliance with standard IEC 60422.
The treatment against PCBs, CDP Process®, is performed on-site (also with the transformer in operation) in continuous, closet-loop mode, without draining, even partially, the transformer.
