MYCELX Marine Applications MYCELX
marine products remove hydrocarbons, ranging from oil to gasoline
sheen, out of water in a single pass. MYCELX instantly and permanently
bonds hydrocarbon compounds to its surface, keeping them from separating,
emulsifying and releasing. The technology allows the cartridges to
permanently remove the pollutants in a single pass with less than
1 psi of pressure drop (even when fully saturated). Saturated MYCELX
cartridges and can be safely incinerated and even used to generate
energy due to their high BTU content. MYCELX marine products include the BilgeKleen for bilge water, the Watermaker Protection System for RO membrane protection, the Boater Emergency Spill Kit, the FuelKleen Splash Absorbing Fueling Collars and the VentKleen Overflow Protection Device for safe fueling operations, and a host of spill remediation products. The industry proven MYCELX HRM™ (Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix) cartridge products also remove raw BTEX to crude oil, sheen, chlorinated solvents, PCBs, POPs, TBT, and organically bound metals from wastewater. |
MYCELX BILGEKLEEN SystemMYCELX marine products are engineered to remove hydrocarbons, ranging from oil to gasoline sheen, out of water in a single pass. MYCELX instantly solubilizes the hydrocarbon compounds and bonds them
to its surface, keeping them from separating, emulsifying and releasing.
MYCELX also removes oil/water & water/oil mixed emulsions.All MYCELX Marine Products are infused with our patented MYCELX technology.All of the following MYCELX infused bilge products have been developed to remove 100% of sheen generated from gas, diesel fuel and other hydrocarbons in boat bilge water.

MYCELX FuelKleenNew Fuel Collar Protects Water At MarinasIn ongoing efforts to protect the environment from pollutants, MYCELX Technologies Corporation has introduced the MYCELX FuelKleen Splash Absorbing Fueling  Collar
to help catch drips and splashes from fuel pump nozzles at marinas.FuelKleen instantly catches oil, gasoline and diesel fuel before the contaminants hit the water where they can cause damage to the ecosystem as well as garner boaters big fines from the U.S. Coast Guard. MYCELX Technologies is the sole manufacturer and marketer of patented MYCELX compounds that can instantly remove harmful contaminants, including an entire range of organic chemicals, from water. Products infused with MYCELX passed the California Department of Fish and Game's rigid aquatic toxicity tests, which determined MYCELX can safely be used in marine environments during spill responses. MYCELX is infused into numerous materials and is able to remove pollutants from water to below detectable limits (BDL) in a single pass. Once pollutants come in contact with MYCELX, they bond instantly to the material and become extremely hydrophobic and viscoelastic (thickened), which removes them entirely from the water stream. The FuelKleen collar can be reused until it is fully saturated with oil and fuel. back to top |
MYCELX VentKleenBoaters Can Help Protect Environment With VentKleen - MYCELX Technologies offers overflow protection device for marinasBoaters can help protect the environment and the waters they enjoy by using MYCELX Technologies Corporation VentKleen Overflow Protection Device. VentKleen catches  drips
and splashes from boat fuel vents during fueling operations at marinas
and boatyards. VentKleen's dual suction cup design allows the device to be attached to boat hulls and holds a MYCELX-infused Versipad in place under the fuel vent. The Versipad then instantly catches fuel before it reaches the water and causes damage to the ecosystem. Spills also can garner boaters' fines from the U.S. Coast Guard. VentKleen originally was developed for the Tampa Bayside Marina, a "green" marina that offers high and dry storage to Florida boaters. The marina is working to become part of the prestigious Florida Clean Marina Program, designed to help keep the coast and waterways clean while holding marinas to specific criteria. Tampa Bayside acts as a beta site for MYCELX marine products. MYCELX Technologies is the sole manufacturer and marketer of patented MYCELX technology that instantly removes harmful contaminants, including an entire range of organic chemicals, from water. MYCELX is infused into numerous materials and is able to remove pollutants from water to below detectable limits (BDL) in a single pass. Once pollutants come in contact with MYCELX, they bond instantly to the material and become extremely hydrophobic and viscoelastic (thickened), which removes them entirely from the water stream. back to top |
MYCELX BK-2 & BK-3 BilgeKleen SystemsThe BK-2 & BK-3 BILGEKLEEN systems use an extra capacity filter and 1 1/2” inlet/outlets to
maximize their effectiveness on commercial vessels with larger bilge
piping. The specially designed MYCELX filter removes sheen, oil, gas,
diesel fuel and other hydrocarbons from the bilge water as it is discharged
overboard, while the SmartPad is placed in the bilge sump area to
capture the harmful contaminants where they form. Patented BILGEKLEEN system easily installs to your bilge pump discharge line for the removal of fuel and oil pollution.

MYCELX MX Units 30"
MYCELX offers a full line of 316 stainless steel hydrocarbon removal
systems with single unit flow rates from less than 1 gpm to 780 gpm
using the industry proven MYCELX HRM™ (Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix)
cartridge to remove the pollutants to below detectable limits in a
single pass with no backpressure. The MYCELX systems are designed
to take up a minimum of space and can easily be retrofitted into virtually
any application or treatment train. The systems generate far less
waste than activated carbon (GAC) with much greater removal efficiency.
MYCELX MX series cartridge products are designed to remove hydrocarbons ranging from raw BTEX to crude oil, sheen, natural and synthetic oils, chlorinated solvents, PCBs, POPs, TBT, and organically bound metals from wastewater. The technology allows the cartridges to permanently remove the pollutants in a single pass with less than 1 psi of pressure drop (even when fully saturated). Saturated MYCELX cartridges can be safely incinerated and even used to generate energy due to their high BTU content. MYCELX cartridges are applied to bilge water and ballast water systems as well as desalination and shipboard water applications. Other shipboard and industrial applications for the cartridges are compressor condensate, boiler feed and blowdown water, and machinery space runoff. Specific cartridges are also offered for the removal of tramp oils from machining fluids, stormwater, air line oil mist polishing, PCB contaminated water, and high temperature water. back to top |

MYCELX Sub 5 Bilge SystemLloyds Register Type Approval for:IMO MEPC 107(49) Type C Emulsion Certified Bilge System Ships crews have been dealing with the problem of bilge water discharge for years. Most Chief Engineers we've spoken with readily admit that OWS's(Oil Water Separators) do not consistently perform well enough to maintain a discharge concentration of 15 PPM* or less. When heavy or emulsified are encountered by the OWS most are typically unable to remove these below the 15 PPM* requirement. With evermore strict enforcement of the current laws, crewmembers and company executives are putting themselves in jeopardy every time they send water over the side of a vessel. Without Mycelx they are forced to keep the water onboard until such time as they can send it ashore, which can be expensive. With the Mycelx system these problems are solved. By simply installing our Mycelx system on the discharge of the OWS you can consistently and easily meet the 15 PPM* requirement. * 5 PPM for Great Lakes 
Certified To Discharge Less Than 5 PPM At Influent Concentrations
up to 3000 PPM.
Designed To Operate As A Stand Alone Oil Water Separator or as a Bolt On Polishing Unit.
The Sub 5 Bilge Systems Use Emulsion Breaking Bilge Polishing Cartridges.

The Mycelx multi-cartridge filters are used to remove oils and other hydrocarbons, including
EMULSIFIED OILS, from water in a single pass. They are available in 5 micron HRM standard
oil & grease cartridges, or as 1 micron Emulsion Breaking cartridges. |

MYCELX Wet Weather KitMYCELX Technologies Corporation has introduced the MYCELX Wet Weather Emergency Response Kit to help catch harmful contaminant spills before they have a chance to damage the environment. The
kit can be used for on-water spills or those that occur during wet
weather and can remove oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, transmission fluids,
sheen and chlorinated solvents from streams, rivers and stormwater
runoff.MYCELX Technologies is the sole manufacturer and marketer of patented MYCELX compounds that can instantly remove pollutants, including an entire range of organic chemicals, from water. MYCELX products have passed the California Department of Fish and Game's rigid aquatic toxicity tests, which determined MYCELX can safely be used in marine environments for spill response. MYCELX products remove pollutants from water to below detectable limits in a single pass. Once pollutants come in contact with MYCELX, they bond instantly and become extremely hydrophobic (repellent to water) and viscoelastic (thickened), causing them to be permanently removed from the water stream. The Wet Weather Emergency Response Kit includes MYCELX booms, immobilant pads, Viscochips, and PowerSolve multi-purpose cleaner. The products, none of which absorb water, are strong, lightweight and easy to maneuver and dispose of. back to top |
Storm Water Filtration SystemThe MYCELX Stormwater Filtration System is designed to fit in parking lot drain units and works to remove harmful pollutants found in stormwater runoff. The
system uses an easy-to-assemble gutter system in conjunction with
the Stormwater Filtration System filled with MYCELX PermaKleen, a MYCELX
infused product, to catch the "first flush" of
rainwater from parking lots. This "first flush" contains
the highest concentration of oil and gas contamination. The result
is an effluent clear of sheen, oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, transmission
fluids and chlorinated solvents. The system uses MYCELX technology
to instantly remove pollutants, including an entire range of organic
chemicals, from water. The MYCELX Stormwater Filtration System can
also be installed below grade for use in plant floors and parking
lots and carries a Class B load rating.Industry proven MYCELX products are able to remove 99-plus-percent of pollutants from water in a single pass with less than 1 psi of backpressure. Once pollutants come in contact with MYCELX, they are instantly bonded to the material and become extremely hydrophobic and viscoelastic (thickened), which permanently removes them from the water stream. back to top |
Oil & Gas ImmobilantsMYCELX Technologies offers several specialty products to help with oil-spill clean up.
MYCELX manufactures the most technically advanced and efficient products
for immobilizing oil available anywhere. All products are infused
with patented MYCELX technology and are designed for specific oil
remediation tasks. Every cleanup task from sheen to tarballs can be
quickly and efficiently addressed using MYCELX products. The use of
these products will maximize response effectiveness, while drastically
reducing material usage, water drag-out, waste generation and ultimately,
environmental damage.Versimat™ is used for light to medium oils. The large surface-contact area distinguishes it from other standard sweep or boom products. The contact area, covering 45.8 square feet and weighing only 2.8 pounds, offers the largest square footage per pound of any product available and has an oil capacity of up to120 lbs. Terraguard™ protects bird estuaries, environmentally sensitive wetlands and shorelines. Extending from above the oil-water interface to sand level, it absorbs bulk amounts of oil both above and below the water surface. Engineered for rapid deployment, it protects the shore from tar balls, emulsification products and surface sheen. It also is used for emergency spill response as a instantly deployable underflow weir. Viscochips™ can be applied directly to thicken light oils and enhance the effectiveness of skimmers. These specially treated wood fibers function as rheology modifiers, causing oil to become more cohesive. The wood fibers can also solidify heavy oils into a solid, buoyant mass. Sheen Devil™ is a super buoyant oil-and-sheen boom designed specifically for the removal of sheen from water. It has five times the surface area of conventional booms, with only one-tenth the weight. Its high buoyancy and inability to absorb water it maximum exposure to surface films and eliminate water drag-out, reducing waste disposal costs. Versipad™ is used for bulk sorption of light to medium oils. It prevents weathering and separation on contact and is able to remove up to one-half pound of oil on surface areas up to 18 square feet. Smartpad™ is used for oil remediation in water or on land. Its design protects surfaces beneath the pad by absorbing oil without letting it pass through. Each is capable of removing over two pounds of oil and prevents weathering and separation on contact. back to top |
