The steep growth in the demand for clean water cannot be met by the conventional filtration processes in many industries. Manufacturing, power and utilities, facilities, groundwater remediation and emergency and spill response are just a few of the industries that require an advanced water filtration solution.  MYCELX advanced oil removal provides a comprehensive solution to the complex problems experienced by industries struggling to meet their water filtration requirements.

Manufacturing plants often require significant quantities of water for production and equipment cleaning. They consume the second largest fraction of fresh water after the power & utilities industry. Irrespective of their size, plants are required to meet the stringent discharge norms and limits set by local and environmental agencies as well as their internal regulations required for efficient reuse.

All facilities consume water during washing, processing, diluting and cleaning operations. They also produce very high volumes of stormwater or runoff water. Advances in storage and supply chain management has increased the number of facilities, warehouses and related process industries around the world. The water generated in these facilities must be treated to meet the environmental discharge limits regulated by local and federal agencies.

The marine industry has grown tremendously in the last three decades to meet the demands for transporting passengers and goods around the world. The marine industry includes cargo ships, cruise liners, yachts, boats and naval ships and carriers. Depending on the size and design of the ship, there can be a significant amount of water collected from leaks, spills and runoff. This water is called bilge water and it must be treated in accordance with international and local regulations defined by the respective countries and localities.

Air filtration in manufacturing and facilities involves removal of oil mist, oily solids, particles and biologicals from air. Industrial and commercial facilities engage HVAC systems to recirculate the air to optimize heating and cooling. Larger facilities are required to maintain the air quality standards set up by safety, health and environmental regulatory agencies. In some cases, the production process requires cleaner air. Air filtration through advanced filtration technologies are required by industries and commercial establishments to maintain the air quality through recirculation.

Oil spills into water ways pose very serious environmental risks. Oil spills are difficult to remediate because the oil can spread far from the original spill source. Environmental agencies monitor and require measures to prevent, respond as well as remediate water and land-based spills. Spill remediation can be performed in stagnant or free flowing water. In stagnant water, an oil spill spreads through the top layer of the water. Oil can be found in the top layer as well as the bottom layers of moving water due to the turbulence created by the motion of the water. Spill remediation technologies require the capability to remove oil against the flow of water.
