Megator Corporation has entered into a cooperative agreement with MYCELX Technologies to
represent its oil-free water technologies to the marine industry in Europe and the Americas.
PureShip BilgeKleen® The World's Only Stand-Alone Polishing Unit for Emulsified Bilge Water
Megator now offers MYCELX PureShip BilgeKleen®, the world’s only
stand-alone polishing unit certified to meet or exceed the requirements
of IMO MEPC 107(49)c for emulsified bilge water. The BilgeKleen® unit
removes oil, gas, diesel fuel, and other hydrocarbon pollutants from
bilge water before it is discharged overboard.
Performs Equal to or Better than IMO MEPC 107(49)c Bilge Standards
Renders Oil into a Cohesive Viscoelastic Mass upon Contact
Eliminates Re-Entrainment
No Visible Sheen
PureShip BilgeKleen® allows you to safely discharge at sea with no visible sheen
and can be used as:
A stand-alone bilge treatment system on smaller vessels
A bolt on polisher for an existing oil water separator
A replacement for an ineffective and unreliable existing polisher
We also offer:
Replacement polishing filter cartridges
infused with MYCELX to replace inferior
and ineffective filter media cartridges
HRM Filters
Preconditioning systems consisting of filter housing
equipped with MYCELX snippets, which are ideal for:
– Capturing slugs of bulk oil and particulate
before an OWS or stand-alone polisher
– For use in front of membrane systems to
prevent face plugging, fouling and
damage to membranes from bulk oil and
particulate that would otherwise require
expensive replacement.

OilClean® filter housings for bilge water treatment on work boats and recreational boats
OilClean® Filters
Myclex filters chosen for NOAA’s Fisheries Fleet.
Applying polymers to filters to enhance oil affinity has been attempted without success
multiple times. The reason: all man-made sequentially assembled polymers swell with oil,
quickly resulting in prohibitive dP. MYCELX is novel in that it renders oil into a cohesive
viscoelastic mass upon contact. VE materials densify and contract when sheared. Oil captured
by MYCELX filters contracts and adheres to the filter without resulting in dP. The viscoelastic
immobilization of the oil also results in the smallest possible footprint as re-entrainment
is eliminated.
Why should you use MYCELX bilge water polishing
and pretreatment systems?
SLUGS AND HIGH OIL LOADING
Captures and immobilizes dispersed oils and oily slugs without developing pressure or plugging up
Discharge is sheen free even under high-loading scenarios
Best way to protect sensitive downstream devices (i.e., UF, RO, distillation feed) from fouling, thus optimizing system performance
Can be used stand-alone or coupled with MEPC 60(33) OWS as needed to assure sheen-free discharge
EMULSIFIED OIL
Only stand-alone polishing unit certified to meet or exceed requirements of IMO MEPC 107(49)c for emulsified bilge water, sizes 1, 2.5, 5, 10 cubic meters per hour units
Is sensitive enough to treat emulsified oily streams (IMO and NAVAL bilge test emulsions), while robust
enough to capture unemulsified oil at the same time without plugging up or failing due to high dP –
absence of this capability is the most common mode of failure for shipboard UF bilge water systems
Will discharge highly emulsified bilge water at under to 15 ppm with no visible sheen
GENERAL
Can be engaged pre- or post-existing OWS to assure compliance to IMO and local regulations
Can be used as stand-alone bilge treatment for smaller vessels, especially in environmentally sensitive areas
Will protect downstream UF and other treatment from fouling
Can be engaged as needed to assure sheen-free discharge post 60(33) and other type OWS
Lloyd’s Register Certificates available
MYCELX filters are used on the Galapagos Islands fleet, discharging sheen-free water at 5 ppm
or
better, which protects the islands’ unique ecosystems including that of the marine iguana.
