Short-Term Emergencies & Project Rentals
When You Need a Separator Now, You Still Need One That Works
Most rental separators are nothing more than empty steel boxes filled with plastic. They clog fast. They lose efficiency within hours. They turn your bypass or construction project into a babysitting nightmare. Worse, they expose you and your customer to fines, shutdowns and headlines nobody wants to read.
Mercer rentals are different. Our fleet exists for one primary reason. Most people who rent from us end up buying from us after they see what real performance looks like. If an emergency or project spec requires a separator in place tomorrow, we will not hand you a problem. We will hand you protection.
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE
Most customers do not come to Mercer because they want a rental. They come because they want to avoid disasters, stay compliant, keep jobs running, and eliminate surprises. Our rental fleet exists because:
Mercer rentals use the same internal plate technology, inlet distribution, weir design, and Multi-Pack coalescers found in our permanent systems. You get real separation, not a temporary illusion.
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE
When things go sideways, there is no learning curve. You need a separator that works the minute it hits the ground.
Use Mercer when:
Rent from the wrong place and you inherit their problems.
Plastic-pack rental separators clog fast. Flow channels. Solids hide in pockets. Performance drops to zero. If you do not catch it, the sheen goes straight to surface water and the fines stack up quickly.
Rent from Mercer and you get the same engineered performance we guarantee for permanent installations.
On planned projects, rentals often become a check-the-box task. Specs call for temporary oil removal. A rental house hands you what they call an “oil-water separator.” You meet the letter of the spec, but you may miss the real risk.
Mercer rentals protect you from:
Your reputation is on the line, not the rental house’s.
Every rental unit delivers:
You get a separator designed for 30-year problems, even if you only need it for 30 days.
Rent the wrong unit and you face:
Plastic packs do not warn you when they stop working.
Mercer units keep operating.
A rental is the perfect opportunity to see the Mercer difference for yourself.
If you want to explore a permanent fix or evaluate the ROI, ask about Proof of Performance Piloting. We can run the data while the rental is in place. Many customers convert their rental into the first step toward a permanent engineered solution.
If testing shows a Mercer solution will not deliver meaningful improvement, we will tell you before you commit to anything.
Free testing and evaluation are included.
