Mycelx^® Filters

The Mycelx^® Filter is designed to remove hydrocarbons such as crude oil and fuel along with other pollutants from water resources.

Mycelx can be manufactured in different medias, depending on the application, from filters for stormwater filtration to booms for hydrocarbon spills.

It can also be attached to the Bandalong Litter Trap.

HOW IT WORKS

• Hydrophobic filter molecularly bonds to and removes hydrocarbons and pollutants as water passes through the filter

• Consists of polypropylene fibers that are coated with hydrophobic substances which bond to hydrocarbons

• May be used in mass quantities to clean up oil spills

• Each filter works for up to six months under normal loads

Benefits

• Removal rate of over 95 percent of total petroleum hydrocarbons

• Unrestricted water flow

• Filter will not release the hydrocarbons, even when completely saturated
