A new water treatment technology born of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill is making its way to the Permian Basin.<\/p>\n

MYCELX founder Hal Alper developed the MYCELX polymer, a material that permanently and chemically bonds hydrocarbons on contact rather than simply filtering them. In 1994, he co-founded MYCELX Technologies with petroleum industry veteran John Mansfield Sr. The company has since grown from a single polymer innovation into a global water treatment provider with expertise in produced water treatment across onshore and offshore operations.<\/p>\n

Following successful deployments worldwide, the company recently shifted its strategy to focus on the Permian Basin, citing the value creation and performance improvements its technology delivers in produced water treatment.<\/p>\n

MYCELX offers two primary treatment systems for Permian Basin clients that work together, said Garrett Rasor, business development manager for oil and gas.<\/p>\n

One is the MAC \u2014 MYCELX Advanced Coalescer \u2014 and the second is REGEN, the Regenerative Media Filter. Combined, the technologies can recover 99% sales-quality oil from produced water while also collecting suspended solids. Rasor said the treatment could be used before the water is sent to saltwater disposal wells.<\/p>\n

Rasor said the systems can also be used as pretreatment for technologies that process produced water for beneficial reuse, desalination or evaporation.<\/p>\n

REGEN is a backwashable media filter that generates recycle-quality water that can be placed in a frac pond or sold to a midstream or treatment company. He said the system operates within a small footprint.<\/p>\n

The two technologies are also cost-effective because they require no chemicals, produce no emissions and require no labor because they are automated.<\/p>\n

Jim Weidler, executive vice president of business development, said the company was awarded its first field-scale project using REGEN in the Permian Basin in November by a major midstream operator. It will begin operations in the third or…<\/p>\n
