Where Conventional Systems Fail
Conventional water treatment systems rely on mechanical separation or chemical injection to remove oil and hydrocarbons.
These processes are often complex and time-consuming, creating bottlenecks and risking catastrophic re-release of oil back
into the water whenever operating conditions shift.
MyCelx offers a better approach. Instead of simply filtering or separating oil, it permanently binds hydrocarbons at the
molecular level, ensuring they are never released back into the water. This delivers significantly lower ppm levels and
superior fine-droplet removal compared to any conventional system.
MyCelx provides a scientific and reliable solution for removing oil and hydrocarbons from produced water, process water,
or wastewater for recycling and reuse. It meets—and often exceeds—strict water purity regulations that conventional
methods struggle to achieve, enabling rapid and cost-effective compliance with environmental standards.
Environmentally friendly and operationally efficient, MyCelx keeps oil contained within the production environment,
reducing ecological risk. It can replace conventional systems entirely or serve as a supplemental, emergency enhancement
when mechanical oil–water separators underperform. Adopting MyCelx drives innovation, lowers treatment costs, and delivers
faster, more efficient oily-water processing.
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.
