Company / About Mercer

Forty years. One standard of performance.

Mercer International designs, builds and supports high-performance oil–water–solids separation systems for industrial sites in the United States. Our work begins with the operating reality of a site and ends with a system that keeps performing long after commissioning.

01 / Our history

Built around one durable idea

(01)

Founded on a separation problem

Mercer International was established to solve a persistent industrial problem: separators that performed on paper but lost efficiency in service.

(02)

An internals architecture of our own

Rather than adopt plastic coalescing media, Mercer developed a durable internal architecture engineered to resist the clogging and collapse that shorten service life.

(03)

Forty years in service

Systems engineered by Mercer have been operating across refining, chemical, aerospace, defense and heavy manufacturing sites for four decades.

(04)

Application engineering as standard

Every system is configured around site conditions — flow, loading, temperature, solids and discharge requirements — rather than sold from a catalog page.

02 / Facilities

Engineered, fabricated and supported domestically

Mercer systems are fabricated in United States shops equipped for heavy steel vessel work — cutting, rolling, welding, coating and hydrotesting — with internals assembled and inspected before shipment. Engineering, fabrication oversight and aftermarket support sit under one organization, so the team that specified a system is the team that stands behind it in the field.

03 / The team

Disciplines behind every system

Projects are staffed by the same core disciplines from first enquiry through startup and long-term support.

Process engineering

Sizing and configuration based on separation physics, influent characterization and required discharge quality.

Mechanical design

Vessel, internals, nozzle and skid design for the pressures, temperatures and duty cycles of industrial service.

Fabrication and quality

Welded steel fabrication with coating and inspection appropriate to above-ground and below-ground installation.

Field and aftermarket support

Site audits, startup guidance, troubleshooting and retrofit of underperforming existing separators.

04 / Work with us

Tell us what your separator is doing today.

A short conversation about flow, loading and cleaning intervals is usually enough for our engineers to identify the constraint.
