Sea Marconi Latinoamericana know was founded in 2004 to provide core business services and best support the many customers in the Argentine market, including some leading utilities and industrial groups such as Esso and Siderca Tenaris Group, among others.
Since the founding of the Latin American company, Sea Marconi has been committed to permanent placement of an oil and transformer treatment system (MDU - Mobile Decontamination Unit) on that market. This technological solution is the best available technique (BAT/BEP) for the decontamination of equipment and oils contaminated with PCBs.
In particular, since 2004, the equipment on Transener and Transba high-voltage lines has benefited from Sea Marconi's "PCB-Free Programme": the CDP Process® has been successfully applied on power transformers, on-site, closed-loop andunder load, up to PCB concentrations of < 2 mg/>< 2 mg/kg in the province of Buenos Aires and < 50 mg/>< 50 mg/kg on the other provinces at federal level.
Given the recent successes in Chile, Colombia, Uruguay and Peru, Sea Marconi has changed its forecasts to positive and therefore also its strategies of growth in Argentina and Latin America. Consequently, concrete actions have been taken at corporate level.

On May 25, in fact Sea Marconi executives Vander and Cristina Tumiatti created a new management structure that will strengthen the company, and allow it to enter the market in an innovative way with a new service portfolio. The integrated approach is based on sustainable solutions for the life cycle management of electrical equipment with insulating fluids, such as the "DBDS & Corrosion-Free Programme", currently the only line of products, services and technologies against the problem of corrosive sulfur.
Sea Marconi is the world's leading expert in this field; in 2005, it discovered the cause of the phenomenon of corrosive sulfur, was the first to offer a truly effective solution (Selective Depolarisation Chedcos), and conducts research and development activities on a daily basis to understand corrosion mechanisms that are still obscure. On the basis of these studies, which were presented at the Pittcon conference in Philadelphia (USA), Sea Marconi has identified four types of corrosion ("Tumiatti Square"):
- corrosion due to DBDS;
- corrosion NOT due to DBDS;
- corrosion linked to the products of deterioration of sulfur, and
- corrosion NOT due to sulfur but to dissolved metals.
The ultimate goal of the research is to counter the critical problems typical of the life cycle of electrical equipment with insulating oil by improving the reliability of power grids, preventing breakdowns and safeguarding the environment.
