Practical Separation Knowledge. Delivered to Your Team.

Technical Education
Oil-water separation looks straightforward—until real-world flow rates, influent conditions, discharge requirements, site constraints, and system design enter the equation.
Mercer Lunch & Learns give engineers, consultants, facility teams, and end-users direct access to the practical knowledge behind effective oil-water separation.
Hosted on-site or virtually, each session is built around real applications, real operating conditions, and the questions your team needs answered.
And lunch is on Mercer.
Learn the Why
A separator is only as effective as the engineering behind its application.
Mercer Lunch & Learns can help teams better understand the fundamentals that influence separator selection, specification, installation, operation, and long-term performance.
Depending on the audience and project needs, topics may include:
The objective isn’t to tell your team what to specify.
It’s to give them a better understanding of why separation systems perform—or don’t
Relevant by Design
Dig deeper into separator sizing, design criteria, performance calculations, specifications, system configuration, and the engineering considerations that can determine whether a design performs as intended.
Focus on practical operation—what enters the system, what affects performance, maintenance considerations, troubleshooting, and how better water management can reduce operational headaches.
Explore treatment objectives, discharge considerations, site constraints, environmental requirements, and how oil-water separation fits within the larger treatment process.
Two Ways to Learn
Bring your team together and Mercer will come to you. We’ll provide the technical session, answer questions, and bring lunch for the group.
Have teams in different offices or locations? Mercer can host the session virtually and arrange for lunch so everyone can participate from wherever they work.
Either way, you get direct access to people who understand oil-water separation beyond what’s printed on a product data sheet.
Make It Specific
A Lunch & Learn doesn’t have to stay theoretical.
If your team is evaluating an application, developing a specification, dealing with an existing separator, or facing an unusual water-treatment challenge, bring it to the session.
Mercer can use actual project conditions to help illustrate the engineering principles involved and identify the questions that should be asked before equipment is selected.
No generic presentation required.
Separation Expertise
Mercer has spent decades challenging assumptions about how oil-water separators are sized, specified, and expected to perform.
Our approach starts with the physics: flow, droplet size, specific gravity, viscosity, temperature, retention time, and the actual characteristics of the wastewater being treated.
A Mercer Lunch & Learn brings that experience directly to your team—so the next time you’re evaluating an oil-water separation application, you know what to look for and what questions to ask.
Mercer Lunch & Learns are designed for engineering firms, consulting groups, EPC teams, facility owners, municipalities, environmental professionals, end-users, and other organizations involved in specifying, operating, or evaluating oil-water separation and industrial water-treatment systems.
Sessions can cover oil-water separation fundamentals, separator sizing and selection, flow and retention time, coalescing principles, influent conditions, system configuration, performance expectations, maintenance considerations, specifications, and common application mistakes. Mercer can also tailor the discussion around a particular industry, facility, or project.
Yes. Mercer can tailor the technical depth and subject matter to your audience. If your team has an active project or specific oil-water separation challenge, providing application information in advance can help make the session even more relevant.
Yes. Lunch & Learns can be conducted virtually for teams working remotely or across multiple offices. Mercer can coordinate lunch for participants while delivering the technical session online.
Yes. For an on-site Lunch & Learn, Mercer comes to your location and provides lunch for the participating team. The goal is to make it easy to bring the right people together for a focused technical discussion without disrupting the workday.
