Sturdy Tank Design and Paint System
A separator is only as reliable as the tank that houses it. Mercer builds tanks that withstand industrial environments, outdoor exposure, and decades of real operating conditions without warping, pitting, or coating failure. Structural integrity and corrosion resistance are not afterthoughts—they are engineered into every unit because predictable performance depends on a stable vessel.
Lighter-gauge tanks or basic paint systems often degrade faster than the internals they protect. Mercer prevents this by using heavy-duty construction and industrial-grade coatings designed for long-term field use.
Mercer tanks are built from thick-wall steel that resists flexing, thermal movement, and impact. This structural stability keeps internal baffles, plates, and flow paths properly aligned so the separator performs the same year after year.
The paint system is selected for chemical compatibility, UV resistance, and long-term corrosion protection. Multi-layer coatings protect against the harsh conditions common in refinery, manufacturing, power generation, municipal, and outdoor industrial environments.
This combination of construction and coating ensures the separator remains durable, stable, and safe throughout its lifecycle.
A sturdy tank with a reliable paint system delivers consistency. Operators avoid the leaks, warping, coating failures, and structural issues that compromise performance in lighter-build units. Mercer tanks stay functional longer, hold their internal geometry, and require fewer costly repairs or recoats over their lifespan.
If you want separation performance you can count on, start with a free site audit. We will review your current system, operating conditions, and effluent requirements, then back it with honest results. If testing shows Mercer’s solution will not deliver meaningful improvement, we will tell you before you commit to anything. Free testing and evaluation are included.

If a tank flexes or shifts, internal components can misalign, which disrupts flow distribution and plate efficiency. A sturdy tank keeps the entire system hydraulically stable.
Mercer uses industrial-grade coatings designed for corrosion resistance, UV stability, and chemical exposure. They protect the vessel over long service cycles.
Yes. A stronger tank with a durable coating requires fewer repairs, fewer recoats, and maintains internal geometry longer, lowering long-term OPEX.
Yes. A free site audit and testing ensure the tank and coating system match your environment and operating conditions. If Mercer’s solution will not provide meaningful improvement, you will know before committing.
