Where Conventional Systems Fail
Conventional systems attempt to remove oil and hydrocarbons from water using mechanical separation or chemical injection, often involving long, complex processes that are prone to bottlenecks and failures. These systems can even re-release oil back into the water when the composition or load changes. In contrast, MyCelx doesn’t simply filter or separate oil — it permanently binds with it at the molecular level, ensuring oil is never released back into the water. This results in lower ppm levels and finer droplet removal than any other system currently available.
MyCelx offers a scientific and reliable solution for removing oil and hydrocarbons from produced water, process water, or wastewater for recycling and reuse. It meets and exceeds stringent water purity regulations that conventional methods often fail to achieve. MyCelx enables rapid, cost-effective compliance with environmental standards, providing a dependable option when other systems fall short.
Environmentally friendly and operationally efficient, MyCelx keeps oil confined within the production environment, reducing ecological risks. It can be used as a complete replacement for conventional systems or as a supplemental, emergency solution where mechanical oil-water separators underperform. Adopting MyCelx can drive innovation and significant operational improvements, delivering more efficient and lower-cost oily water treatment.
MyCelx is an advanced oil-free water technology designed for the oil and gas, mining, and water treatment industries. Unlike conventional filters or chemical treatments, MyCelx uses molecular cohesion to permanently remove oil from water, achieving critically low levels of less than 1 ppm—far below standard regulatory requirements. Recognised by government and environmental authorities, the treated water is safe for recycling or discharge, such as for use in dust suppression.
