FAQ’S
Contact us to answer your specific question
Does MYCELX have a shelf life or will it wear off over time?
MyCelx has an indefinite shelf life and is only consumed upon contact with hydrocarbons.
How can I tell when to change a filter (when is it used up)?
MyCelx filters discolor as they capture hydrocarbons, thus it is easy to see when to change a filter. Oil content monitors may also be used to detect any water that contains above acceptable limits.
How are used materials disposed ?
Used filters may be incinerated (low ash content and high thermal energy value) or sent to landfill as subject to accordance with local authority guidelines.
How does MYCELX work?
The MyCelx compound upon contact with hydrocarbons in the waste stream imparts the unique properties of the MyCelx molecule to the oil molecule making the oil molecule hydrophobic (so it wants to leave the water) and oleophilic (wanting to bond and bind with other oil molecules) thus a thickening layer of oil is captured on and through the depth of the filter and increasing the affinity of the oil for the MyCelx infused filter.
How much water can be treated with a MYCELX filter?
MyCelx filters can treat an indefinite volume of water and will continue to treat water until the filter saturates with hydrocarbon, this point can be calculated or evaluated by experienced staff
Is MYCELX toxic?
MyCelx is non-toxic and non-leaching and is approved by US EPA.
What cost savings are associated with the use of MYCELX?
MyCelx will provide savings in all keys areas of water treatment, low capital cost, smallest footprint of any treatment, simplest system requiring no specialized tools, chemical dosing nor specialist training thus proving to be the total lowest operating cost including all maintenance requirements
What pollutants can MYCELX remove from solution?
MyCelx will remove the full range of organics from BTEX, PCB’s to oil and greases and heavy metals (as suspended organo-metals) commonly from internal combustion engine wear
