HOW WE EXCEL
Mercer oil-water separators are not built around marketing claims or generic “efficiency ratings.” They are built around physical design decisions that control hydraulics, solids loading, oil rise behavior, and long-term cleanability.
Every element of the Mercer Advantage exists for one reason:
to deliver predictable, provable separation performance — not just on Day One, but years into operation.
This page provides a high-level view of the design features that make Mercer systems different. Each advantage below links to a deeper technical explanation for engineers, operators, and specifiers who want to understand why these details matter.
ENGINEERED ADVANTAGES
ENGINEERED AS A SYSTEM
No single feature delivers compliance or reliability on its own. The Mercer Advantage is the sum of these design decisions working together — hydraulics, geometry, materials, and serviceability aligned for predictable outcomes.
This is why Mercer systems are trusted in applications where failure is not an option.
We take your worst-case flow, oil type, and solids loading and instantly build a custom separator specification around it. A preliminary drawing is generated immediately, and your quotation follows within hours — not days. Designed from your real numbers, not assumptions.
Design It NowBecause separators don’t operate in lab conditions. Solids loading, flow variation, maintenance access, and hydraulic control determine real-world performance — not brochure claims.
Yes. Mercer designs are supported by long-hand calculations, engineering review, and field validation — not generic micron ratings.
Design elements are applied based on application requirements. Mercer configures systems intentionally — not with one-size-fits-all internals.
We’ll tell you. Our site audits and application reviews are designed to determine fit before equipment is sold.
