Mercer International, IncFamily-founded in the mid-1980s, Mercer International grew out of field engineers’ efforts to correct industrial wastewater systems that failed in actual operation. The company is known for an engineering-first approach to enhanced-gravity oil-water separation, designing equipment around real operating conditions rather than relying on generic sizing or short-life media. Mercer serves operators whose treatment systems must remain serviceable over decades, including industrial facilities and critical infrastructure.ALBANY, NY
Draygon, LLCDraygon, LLC created the original RUN-DRY wastewater evaporator and builds custom systems that reduce industrial wastewater to sludge or dry powder for easier disposal. Based in North Venice, Florida, the company also makes its LSS liquid-solid separator, which was developed from thermal desalination technology to process aqueous waste streams and recover usable water. Draygon offers free wastewater evaluations to help determine the right treatment approach before equipment is purchased.WEBSTER, NY
