Each of the above accessories is designed with ease of maintenance and dependability in mind. The accessories are typically a premium product within that specific accessory’s field.

For instance, Mercer’s standard heater element is a low-watt density (23 watt per square inch) system, each element with its own self-regulating thermostat setting, and running light. The elements have Incoloy™ sheathing for longer life. We supply Watlow heaters, recognized as a leader in quality heater equipment in the industry. A second example is the oil skimming equipment that we supply as an option. Though the Oil Skimmer, Inc. “smooth tube” skimmer is more expensive than other types that are available, they are recognized as the leader in the oil skimming industry. Like the Watlow heaters, the oil skimmer is more expensive than other brands, but the benefits of this skimmer to the end user outweighs the one-time benefit of less costly equipment. The “smooth tube” skimmer is ideally suited for skimming oils containing solids/sludge, skims a larger area more efficiently and its rugged design fits our concept of supplying industrial-duty components. We have found that more than half of the electric utility applications require an automatic-type skimmer in lieu of the traditional skim pipe due to high solids in the wastewater. Therefore a superior oil skimmer may be of particular importance to the end user.

Other Designs: Since most separator manufacturers sell on price rather that on features and benefits, most separator manufacturers supply accessories that fit their corporate philosophy.
