MYCELX is a patented polymeric surfactant technology that is used to infuse all MYCELX Technologies products. The MYCELX instantly bonds to hydrocarbons etc. to make them hydrophobic and viscoelastic thus removing them permanently from the water stream. The single pass efficiency through a MYCELX filter cartridge is typically 99.9% with almost no (@0.5 psi) pressure drop across the filter all the way to saturation.
MYCELX Technologies Corporation is the owner of nine process and compound patents for MYCELX, with numerous other patents pending, and has received two Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) numbers (assigned to new molecules) for MYCELX: 173967-80-1 and 173967-81-2.
Beyond the hydrocarbon removal cartridges, MYCELX also offers a full line of oil spill remediation materials ranging from specialty pads to sheen and heavy oil booms, recreational & commercial marine products, as well as effluent and process water systems for industrial effluent and the removal of tramp oils from machining fluids.
Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix Technology From MYCELX Technologies Corporation
MYCELX HRM™ (Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix) cartridges are designed to remove hydrocarbons ranging from BTEX to crude oil, sheen, chlorinated solvents, PCBs, organic solvents, pesticides & biocides, and organically bound metals from waste water.
Patented MYCELX technology allows the Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix cartridges to permanently remove the pollutants in a single pass with less than 1 psi of pressure differential (even when saturated).
MYCELX HRM cartridge units have been utilized for bilge water polishing following the OWS on numerous Cruise Lines, Tug Fleets, and Tanker/Barge Vessels.
The industry proven MYCELX HRM™ (Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix) cartridge products are designed for hydrocarbon removal tasks ranging from raw BTEX to crude oil, sheen, 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 hydrocarbon removal cartridges can be safely incinerated and even used to generate energy due to their positive BTU content.
MYCELX hydrocarbon removal cartridges can be applied to tank berms, waste drums, rinse water, loading and unloading berms, process water. Specific cartridges are offered for bilge water, machining fluids, stormwater, compressor condensate, PCB contaminated water, and high temperature water.
MYCELX offers a full line of 316 stainless steel filter cartridge systems with single unit flow rates from less than 1 gpm to 780 gpm. The filter cartridges are also available in bulk and are designed to fit standard 10``, 20``, and 30`` DOE (double open end) housings.
MYCELX hydrocarbon removal products can be found in the industrial wastewater, marine and oil-spill remediation industries. The technology is impacting many arenas, including power generation, steel fabrication, machining centers and industrial manufacturing companies, as well as the U.S. Armed Forces, commercial shipping, cruise lines, and marinas throughout the world.
MYCELX Industrial Waste Water Treatment Applications
The industry proven MYCELX HRM™ (Hydrocarbon Removal Matrix) cartridge products are designed to remove hydrocarbons ranging from raw BTEX to crude oil, sheen, chlorinated solvents, PCBs, POPs, TBT, and organically bound metals from waste water.

MYCELX Industrial Waste Water Filter
10`` MYCELX Industrial Filter
All MYCELX industrial filters are engineered to remove hydrocarbons ranging from gasoline to oil from water in a single pass. MYCELX instantly solubilizes the PCB compounds and bonds them to its surface, keeping them from separating and emulsifying. MYCELX is also able to remove Sheen, Synthetic and Natural Oils, BTEX, PCBs, Chlorinated Solvents, and organically bound metals.
Some Applications Involving Hydrocarbon Removal:
- Tank Berms
- Waste Drums
- Bilge Water
- Rinse Water
- Grinding / Cutting Fluid
- Rain / Parking Lot Runoff
- Loading / Unloading Berms
- Process Water
- Compressor Condensate
- Industrial Wastewater
Industrial Filter - High Temp
All MYCELX industrial filters are engineered to remove hydrocarbons ranging from gasoline to oil from water in a single pass. The MYCELX High Temp filters were designed for water streams up to 200 Degrees Fahrenheit. MYCELX instantly solubilizes the hydrocarbon compounds and bonds them to its surface, keeping them from separating and emulsifying. MYCELX can also remove mechanical emulsions, Chlorinated Solvents, PCBs, and organically bound metals.
Some applications involving hydrocarbon removal:
- Boiler Blowdown
- Bilge Water
- Cooling Towers
- Evaporator Water
- High Temp. Rinse Water
- Condensate Waste Streams
- Grinding / Cutting Fluid
- Compressor Condensate
- Process Water
- Turbine Cooling Water
M30 PCB Pollutant Removal Industrial Water Filters
All MYCELX industrial water filters are engineered to remove hydrocarbons ranging from gasoline to oil from water in a single pass. The MYCELX PCB filters were designed to remove low levels of all types of PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) down to allowable discharge levels (typically 0.5 ppt). MYCELX instantly solubilizes the PCB compounds and bonds them to its surface, keeping them from releasing. MYCELX PCB filters can also remove low level BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, & Xylene) components.
Some Applications Involving PCB Pollutant Removal:
- Landfill Leachate
- Site Remediation
- Groundwater Remediation
- Gas Line Dewatering
- Transformer Sites
- Paint Plasticizer Runoff
- Underground Utilities
- Hydraulic Remediation
- Paper Bleaching
- Gas Line Condensation
