Overview

A P Class oil tanker with trading operations in the US Gulf, West Africa and Europe was carrying a capacity of up to 320,000 tons and generating up to 300 gallons of water per day. Conventional bilge water filtration technologies, which utilize motors, pumps or generators, proved to be costly solutions that took up massive amounts of space and provided no protection against accidental spills. Engineers sought an environmentally accountable alternative that could keep operating costs low, conserve energy and space, and handle high fluctuations in oil content.

MyCelx technologies now afford the tanker unprecedented levels of protection against overboard discharge through its patented Oily Bilge Water Treatment Systems. Ship engineers enjoy complete peace of mind while meeting the strictest International Maritime Organization requirements. The remarkable results include:

• Successful treatment of oily bilge water from 50 – 3000 ppm to less than 15 ppm
• Operating cost of $0.14 per gallon
• Absolutely no energy requirements
• Footprint of 4’ x 3’ x 6’ – smallest footprint available on the market
• A 76-97% reduction in handling costs when compared to alternative solutions

MyCelx can help you meet the strictest marine regulations in existence. No other company can make that claim. Call us today and see the difference our technology can make to your vessel.
