Applications
Beyond Ordinary Filtration
MYCELX systems feature MYCELX-infused filters with variable substrates and micron ratings, engineered to effectively remove hydrocarbons and oils. Hydrocarbons are permanently bound to the filter elements, enabling safe and easy disposal.
-
Polymer Infused Media
MYCELX polymers form using patented reaction processes to create materials with molecular affinity to oil and hydrocarbon. Permanently infused into engineered substrates through proprietary methods.
-
Molecular Cohesion
Contaminants are removed instantaneously through molecular cohesion — not mechanical filtration. Once captured, they never re-enter the water stream, even under high-pressure fluctuation.
-
High-Capacity Absorption
Each filter absorbs approximately 2× its own weight in hydrocarbon contaminants. Dry, non-hazardous spent filters produce 200–300% less waste volume than competing technologies.
-
Cartridge Selection
Media is engineered and selected based on contaminant type, concentration, micron size, temperature, flowrate, and discharge criteria — custom-matched to each application.
-
Deepwater Ready
Small footprint and lightweight design engineered for offshore and deepwater platforms. Fully flooded operation with minimal space requirements — fits where conventional systems cannot.
-
Simple Operations
No dedicated or specialized personnel required. New and spent filters are easily stored on-site, and disposed with existing oily solid waste — no offshore-to-shore vessel shipments.
Performance Benefits
Zero Violations.
Proven Worldwide.
Deployed on super-major deepwater platforms in the Gulf of America and facilities around the world, the MYCELX Polisher has delivered an unbroken record of discharge compliance.
Excursion Management
Excursions last <36–48 hrs and are infrequent. The polisher targets those windows precisely — not running continuously, preserving filter life.
Eliminated Service Contracts
Operator-owned system replaced third-party rental and dedicated operators. Dramatic reduction in OPEX and EHS risk contributors.
No Bulk GAC Vessel Hassle
Lightweight cartridge filters stored and disposed offshore — no lifting, no vessel shipments for GAC cleaning, no offshore-to-onshore logistics.
High-Temp Deepwater
PerformanceDesigned for 180–190°F operation in high-pressure deepwater environments, including early production and cold-start conditions.
Automation-Ready
Easy to integrate with online contaminant monitoring instruments. Fully automated diversion based on real-time TOG meter readings.
Rental and Rapid Deployment
Designed for temporary campaigns, platform upgrades, and long-term operations. Provides high-performance treatment with minimal installation time and upfront capital investment.
