What cost savings are associated with the use of MYCELX?
MYCELX infused materials will not absorb water when used to remove oil and other pollutants from the water. Normally, oil sorbents absorb 10 times their weight in water when they are used in an oil spill application. All of that water cost a lot of money to haul off, both in weight and in gallons. MYCELX materials only absorb the pollutants so when they are saturated, only the MYCELX material and the pollutant is left. Also, because of the low water drag out weight MYCELX materials are able to be incinerated and often can be used for power generation because of their high BTU value.
