An agreement was signed recently for supply of the Sea Marconi solution designed for the dehalogenation of oils and transformers contaminated by PCBs in Mexico.
Sea Marconi signed the cooperation agreement with a prestigious local partner: tSystem of Energy sa., will carry out field activities after a period of education and training. Dehalogenation of oils and transformers with PCBs is to be performed using Sea Marconi's CDP Process®, which envisages:
use of special patented reagents;
treatment systems designed in-house (MDUs - Mobile Decontamination Units)
a safe and sustainable process for complete decontaminate of oil and the electrical equipment that contains it.
Dehalogenation treatment using Sea Marconi's CDP Process® not only permits reclassification of transformers and oil as "PCB-free", but restores the oil to optimal conditions thanks to the different stages of treatment: heating, filtration, chemical dehalogenation, degassing and dehumidification. Furthermore, the transformer also benefits from the treatment, because the continuous circulation of the oil between the MDU and the transformer creates a flow of oil that gradually removes the impurities that form on the bottom of the casing and on the insulating pressboards.

Sea Marconi beat the competition at international level because it was able to offer its Mexican partner a solution that is:
a. timely
b. fully compliant with the Stockholm Convention and the CENELEC CLC/TR 50503 and IEC 60422 Ed. 4 2013 technical standards for the sector,
c. considered a BAT/BEP (Best Available Technology/Best Environmental Practice), see CIGRE brochure No. 413 (April 2010).
Sea Marconi confirms its international leadership by supporting the owners of pools of electrical machines with insulating oils during the entire life cycle (LCM - Life Cycle Management). Sea Marconi’s approach is always environmentally-friendly by proposing solutions that enable conservation of resources (equipment and oils) in operation or enhance their value during the end-of-life phase. In doing this, it is possible to prevent the disposal/incineration of enormous amounts of contaminated fluids and equipment and the subsequent emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere.
