We prove performance before you commit. On-site testing, engineered validation, and a guarantee built around real-world results.

Proof Before Purchase
Most separator projects are sold on theory. A hydraulic model. A sizing program. Lab results that never see a real flow spike or a real slug of solids. You approve a big capital spend, hope the new equipment works, and live with the consequences for decades.
Mercer refuses to work that way.
With Test For Free, Then We Guarantee, you see your wastewater run through a Mercer solution in the real world before you commit. If we cannot prove meaningful improvement, we will tell you. If we do prove it and the agreed metrics are not met, you do not owe us for the pilot.
We don’t “promise” performance - we prove it first.
Mercer’s Test for Free approach starts with your data, not brochure claims. That’s why we built the Mercer Confidence Kit: a practical way to validate separation performance before you commit.
Why We Built This
This program grew out of three hard truths:
Most separators in the field have never worked a day in their life.
Most capital projects are approved on optimistic assumptions and nice drawings.
Operators do not need more theory. They need equipment that works under the worst day, not the lab day.

This is not for minor fixes or two-bay garages. This is for projects where performance, compliance, and reputation really matter.
How It Works
Cheap equipment is the most expensive mistake you’ll ever make.
We start by understanding your problem in detail.
In many cases, this step is paired with a Free Site Audit that helps quantify your pain and potential savings.
Based on your data, Mercer:
We do not push a catalog model. We design a process
Before anything ships, we agree on:
In many cases, this step is paired with a Free Site Audit that helps quantify your pain and potential savings.
The core idea is simple.
The only time a separate pilot bill applies is when we deliver the proven result you asked for and you decide not to proceed.
We put our money and our reputation on the line. We ask you to put your word on the line.
Mercer then deploys the pilot system. This may be:
We:
We do not drop equipment and disappear. We are a process design company, not a tank fabricator.
During the pilot, we:
At the end, you get a clear picture:
If we cannot prove meaningful improvement, there is no reason to proceed. We will say so.
When the pilot wins, you have options:
Whatever path you choose, the pilot gives you hard data, not sales talk.

Built To Scale
The Test For Free, Then We Guarantee program connects directly to other Mercer services:
No one else does. Before you buy anything, we evaluate your actual wastewater — either on-site or through controlled testing — using your worst-case influent conditions. We document removal performance, validate the math, and show you exactly what the system will do in the field. Only after the results are verified do we issue a written performance guarantee.
