INDUSTRY INSIGHT
Diesel drips, grease, hydraulic leaks, surfactant-heavy washdowns, grit-laden yard runoff… Mercer stabilizes wastewater performance across fleet yards, logistics centers, and maintenance hubs.
Trucking and logistics operations generate continuous, oily wastewater from vehicle maintenance, fueling pads, wash racks, and heavily trafficked paved surfaces. With hundreds of trucks cycling through daily, facilities face chronic hydrocarbon loading, solids accumulation, and detergent-driven emulsions that overwhelm older CPI separators, vault systems, and swirl units.
Mercer International delivers engineered oil and solids separation built for high-throughput fleet operations. Our systems capture fine hydrocarbons, manage solids, resist surfactant interference, and reduce operator labor, bringing predictable compliance to environments where downtime isn’t an option.
MERCER ADVANTAGE
Mercer systems support fleet operators across regional depots, national logistics hubs, and heavy-duty maintenance facilities.
Consistent capture of hydrocarbons and solids from detergent-heavy wash cycles.
Floor drainage from PM work, oil changes, hydraulic service, and mechanical repairs.
Chronic small-volume diesel drips, spills, and stormwater wash-off.
Stormwater treatment for paved surfaces subject to heavy equipment traffic and pollutant buildup.
Protection of downstream biological systems from oil shock loads and grit carryover.
Fleet yards and trucking depots produce continuous, gritty, oil-laden wastewater, an environment where Mercer’s engineered separators outperform traditional systems.
Pre-settlement areas and non-blinding coalescer pathways prevent clogging and reduce maintenance even with large amounts of grit, sand, and brake dust.
Mercer systems capture fine hydrocarbons and manage solids before they reach discharge points, reducing sheen and preventing regulatory issues during storm events.
In many cases, yes. Mercer coalescer modules are often dropped into existing structures to boost performance without major construction.
Significantly. Automated solids purging and oil removal reduce sludge buildup and extend service intervals, limiting the need for costly, disruptive cleanouts.
