One Blue Planet
We have always felt the best message was conveyed in the fewest words. In four syllables, we believe this message speaks volumes. One Blue Planet.
Only through increased awareness and changes in behavior can the generations inhabiting the planet today change their historical legacy. Will we continue to be consumers of our planet or will we be recorded as the first generation to reverse the trend and become preservers of our One Blue Planet? With certainty, no politician, scientist, business owner or child can argue that we belong to ONE planet.
There are seemingly endless ways that each of us can affect the trend change from consumers to preservers. Some of us will have minor roles; some of us will make major breakthroughs. The important thing is for all of us to start today. Changing our legacy is within our grasp. But we must make the conscious decision to do something differently in order to be effective.
At Marathon we have a high affinity for the water; both playing above and below it. We believe that environmental awareness is key for a trend shift and why we are applying ourselves this way. There are many ways to prevent oil and fuel (or any hydrocarbons) from entering our waterways – and any drop does matter. Eliminate the drip and propel the trend shift. Start today. Keep it Blue. |

MYCELX Clean Boating Products
(pronounced “my-cel-x”)
Infused with the patented MYCELX technology, Centek products are the most advanced products for immobilizing oil in bilges, around your boat or in other marine environments.Centek has designed a host of products to prevent spills and others to effectively respond to hydrocarbon spills.
After years of research, MYCELX Technologies Corporation has synthesized and patented a revolutionary new class of compounds which have the ability to instantly remove the entire range of organic chemicals from water. This class of compounds is known as MYCELX. It has the ability to remove volatile and non-volatile, semi soluble and water insoluble organic compounds. MYCELX is able to solubilize and remove from solution mixed emulsions (oil/water, water/oil) and lipophilic and hydrophilic organic compounds in addition to many chelated metals. |

MYCELX Technologies Corporation has developed proprietary and patented processing technology which enables us to infuse the MYCELX chemistry into a variety of substrate materials. This gives them the ability to address specific pollutants and applications by utilizing the optimal substrate for a particular application.
Whether water is semi-soluble or insoluble, MYCELX-infused materials instantly bond organic compounds to their surfaces and prevent them from separating and emulsifying. MYCELX Infused Products are hydrophobic and will not waterlog or sink. |

|
Another significant characteristic of MYCELX is its ability to avoid creating a differential pressure while removing pollutants. A totally saturated MYCELX filter will create only about .5 psi of pressure differential to the system, ensuring that the flow of water is never stopped. This is a very rare property in filtration and it's what truly separates MYCELX from other environmental waste-removal products on the market today.

About Earthrace
- The Earthrace is an attempt to set the world record for circumnavigating of the globe.
- The boat is to be fuelled with 100% biodiesel, a fuel made from renewable sources such as canola and rape.
- The current 75-day record is held by British boat Cable and Wireless in 1988, Earthrace aims to complete the race in less than 65 days. It is also the first time in history an official UIM Powerboat record will be attempted using renewable fuel.
- The boat has a unique wave piercing hull that allows the boat to pierce through the water rather than riding over the top.
- Wave piercing technology was originally formulated for passenger ferry applications, and more recently it has been applied to military craft.
- Wave piercing is a key element in getting the record for circumnavigating the globe as it allows the boat to run continuously at high speed in both flat and rough sea conditions.
- The Earthrace has been funded to date by sponsorship from more than 200 marine supplies companies who have donated everything from onboard communications gear to high-tech toilets.
- The boat has been equipped with BilgeKleen(tm) provided by Marathon Products and Centek Industries. This system assures that in one pass through its filter, any hydrocarbons are removed from bilge discharge to a level of 2 ppm or less. Clean bilge discharge is assured.
