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.

  1. Excursion Management

    Excursions last <36–48 hrs and are infrequent. The polisher targets those windows precisely — not running continuously, preserving filter life.

  2. Eliminated Service Contracts

    Operator-owned system replaced third-party rental and dedicated operators. Dramatic reduction in OPEX and EHS risk contributors.

  3. 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.

  4. High-Temp Deepwater
    Performance

    Designed for 180–190°F operation in high-pressure deepwater environments, including early production and cold-start conditions.

  5. Automation-Ready

    Easy to integrate with online contaminant monitoring instruments. Fully automated diversion based on real-time TOG meter readings.

  6. 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.
