Mobile Decontamination

Mobile Treatment of Power Transformers based on Sea Marconi’s Continuous Closed-Loop Dehalogenation Process (CDP PROCESS®) using a Decontamination Mobile Unit (DMU).  This is Seanogy’s flagship service in the field of PCB treatment.  Seanogy has brought to the country Sea Marconi’s exclusive and safe technology for the dehalogenation/detoxification of PCBs in oil of power transformers and distribution transformers (with inlet and outlet valves), with functional recovery/improvement and “PCB-Free” re-classification.

The CDP PROCESS® by Sea Marconi is considered as Best Available Technique (BAT) by the Italian Ministry of the Environment, the Territory and the Seas through the Decree 29/01/2007, published on the Official Gazette n.133: Guidelines for the Identification and Utilization of the Best Available Techniques on Treatment of PCBs, apparatuses, and wastes containing PCBs and stocking systems.

As for the Philippines, the same CDP PROCESS® has been verified by the Department of Science and Technology – Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) through an Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Report/ Statement that: 1) Sea Marconi’s CDP PROCESS® can eliminate PCBs in contaminated oil; and 2) by-product of the remediation process is non-toxic.

In addition, the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), through its letter to Seanogy dated January 6, 2017, interposes no objection to the use of the said technology as long as it complies with the applicable requirements of existing Philippine environmental laws. EMB also clarified through its May 12, 2017 letter that Seanogy is not required to register as a Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facility and that its clients are the one that need to register as a Category A TSD Facility (Onsite Treatment and Disposal Facility).

Lastly, Seanogy was able to secure a Certificate of Non-Coverage from EMB in accordance with Presidential Decree 1586: Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System and its Implementing Rules and Regulations for its PCB DMU operations.

Export of PCBs to Orion B.V. in The Netherlands

Export of Equipment containing High Concentration PCBs and PCB Wastes. Seanogy also offers service for the export of equipment containing high concentration PCBs (above 10,000 ppm) as well as PCB wastes.  High concentration PCBs cannot be treated using the DMU due to economic reasons.  As such, these equipment and wastes need to be exported for treatment and disposal.

For this service, Seanogy will be engaging its partner: Orion B.V. (Orion). Orion is a PCB treatment and disposal facility based in The Netherlands, with more than 30 years of experience in PCB decontamination. It is recognized by many international companies for its high environmental standards, high service levels, and best engineering practices. Its highly engineered decontamination facility uses best practices and latest insights in technology.

While awaiting export to Orion’s facility, Seanogy will store equipment and wastes containing high concentration PCBs to its interim storage facilities. Seanogy has already secured Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECCs) for its two Interim Storage Facilities for PCB-containing Equipment and Wastes located in Tandang Sora, Quezon City (ECC-OL-NCR-2017-0074) and Lipa City, Batangas (ECC-OL-R4A-2017-0440).

Scope of Our Export Service

• Processing of all necessary permits and documents in the Philippines and The Netherlands
• Draining and packing of equipment and/or wastes containing PCBs at the point of generation
• Shipping of equipment and/or wastes containing PCBs to Seanogy’s temporary storage facility and, eventually, to Orion’s treatment facility in The Netherlands
• Decontamination of equipment and/or wastes containing PCBs
• Recycling of materials or destruction of remaining PCB-containing materials
• Issuance of Certificate of Destruction/Treatment from Orion
