Mycelx Overview
Procon Environmental Technologies are able to provide a Mycelx filtration system that guarantees 99,9% removal of hydro carbons to meet sewage and storm water discharge limits.
“MyCelx is a patented oil removal technology. Fifteen patents, Fortune 100 clients, and hundreds of installations worldwide attest to the fact that MyCelx is the undisputed, best solution for reliable oil and hydrocarbon removal from water and air.
MyCelx Technology is a green manufacturing process with Zero Waste Generation and 100% conversion of raw products to finished MyCelx Products and Systems”
• Certified by Lloyds Register to meet low discharge levels in oily water
• ISO 9001: 2000 Certified
• Ability to meet 1ppm or less on oil removal
MyCelx is therefore able to meet the National Water Act requirements of below 2,5mg/l oil and grease levels.
It is the Best Available Technology on the market and guarantees a 99,9% removal of any hydrocarbon, PCB, POP’s, DDT, from water. In addition it also provides low life cycle cost as it absorbs 10 fold the amount of oils of any other technology including activated carbon.
We propose solutions that will remove concerns and problems of the public affected by the contamination of groundwater.

UNIQUE FEATURES
o The critical first step in recycle & reuse for process water & wastewater
o Instantly removes 99.9% of contaminants in a single pass
o Single pass removal even at high flow rates
o Absorbs concentrated slugs with less than 1PSI pressure differential
o Permanently binds slightly soluble organic compounds & colloidal metals
o Will not release pollutants due to its visco-elastic nature
o Fixed footprint: small space required
o Simple installation: Gravity flow capable
WHAT DOES MYCELX OFFER?
Fastest, easiest, most reliable and most economically viable means for elimination of process oil/hydrocarbons contamination from air and water
• Fastest – Lowest operating Pressure; Pressure Drop; foot print than any alternate technology
• Easiest – No Rotary, electrical parts, operator friendly – easy to use and simple to maintain
• Reliable – Most Effective Oil Removal, most robust protection to oil fouling – will remove oil even under a worst process upset to same degree of effectiveness and ease of use
• Economically Viable – Lowest capital and competitive operating costs
WHY IS MYCELX TECHNOLOGY PROCESS ENVIRONMENTALLY GREEN?
• Instant and permanent oil removal from process water.
• Lowest Energy and lowest amount of disposable as compared to any alternate solution
• No sludge waste
• No liquid or oily water waste
• Spent cartridge rejects water- will not hold water – Spent MyCelx cartridges can be incinerated with very high BTU value – 150,000 Btu/ spent oil cartridge with ash value equivalent to that of oil removed. Excellent for alternative fuels program.
• MyCelx Technology is a green manufacturing process with Zero Waste Generation and 100% conversion of raw products to finished MyCelx Products and Systems
