One of the most memorable activities at the end of 2015 is the training that Sea Marconi provided for a delegation from the Government of the Philippines. In fact, 14 members of the Philippine Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), National Environment and Natural Resources Department, attended an advanced training course on the problem of PCB management, which ran from 17 November to 20 November. 
The course lasted 4 days: the first was largely dedicated to theoretical aspects and an introduction to the theme of PCBs (definitions, identification, inventory); the second day included both theoretical and practical elements, covering first the analysis of PCB in Sea Marconi's accredited laboratories, followed by an explanation of the technologies used to decontaminate/dispose of PCB-contaminated fluids; the third day was dedicated to the international regulatory framework (IEC, CENELEC etc.); the course concluded on the fourth day with an on-site visit to witness the Sea Marconi decontamination treatment in action. 
On this occasion, Sea Marconi employed 6 trainers, each of whom was a skilled expert in his/her field. All trainers were Sea Marconi personnel, with the expection of Prof. Massimo Pompili from La Sapienza University of Rome, who, in his role as Secretary of the IEC Technical Committee 10 on insulating fluids, is among the most qualified international professionals in this field. 
Over recent years, contact with the Philippines has increased: the local authorities in Manila and Davao invited us to present our solutions to the PCB problem in April 2011, and then in November 2012 a delegation from the Philippines visited us for the accreditation and auditing of Sea Marconi's "PCB Free Program" solution.
