One Partner. More Ways to Help.
When Your Plant Needs Help,
Start Here.
From biosolids transportation and dewatering to tank cleaning, dredging, fabrication, temporary project support, Class A technologies, and disposal, Merrell Bros. gives you one experienced team to call when a challenge comes up.
One Call Should Get You Moving
The hardest part should not be figuring out who to call.
Plant problems rarely arrive one at a time. A solids backlog can become a storage problem. Equipment downtime can become a dewatering problem. Deferred cleaning can take away working capacity. A maintenance project can suddenly need hauling, temporary equipment, fabrication, and additional support.
Your team already has enough to manage. Merrell Bros. is built to help you solve more of those problems with one experienced partner.
Capacity Pressure
Solids keep coming even when storage, equipment, or processing capacity starts falling behind.
Maintenance Windows
Cleaning, repairs, upgrades, and shutdowns leave little room for delays or poor coordination.
Hauling & Disposal
When material cannot move, flexibility disappears and the rest of the operation feels the pressure.
Unexpected Needs
Sometimes the problem is not on the original project list. You simply need a team that can help find the next step.
A Simpler Way Forward
Tell us what is happening. We will help you map the next move.
You do not need to know which service, piece of equipment, or project approach you need before you call. Start with the problem. Our team can help you work through the options.
Share the problem, project, timeline, material, or operational concern.
We look at the site, scope, equipment, schedule, and available paths forward.
We coordinate the people, equipment, and services needed to help move the project forward.

01 | Transportation of Biosolids
When biosolids stop moving, the pressure spreads everywhere.
Storage fills. Flexibility disappears. Planned logistics can quickly turn into emergency coordination.
Merrell Bros. provides transportation support for liquid, dry, and dewatered biosolids. We work around your material, scheduling needs, destination requirements, and operating conditions to help keep material moving safely and efficiently.
02 | Biosolids Dewatering Solutions
When solids keep coming, you need capacity you can bring to the problem.
Equipment outages, temporary surges, maintenance projects, and solids backlogs can put storage and operations under pressure.
Merrell Bros. provides mobile dewatering solutions using belt press, centrifuge, and screw press equipment. The goal is simple: remove water, reduce material volume, and make downstream handling easier.

Mobile Dewatering
Belt Filter Press
Dependable continuous dewatering for projects that require high volume processing and reliable field performance.
Compact Processing
Centrifuge
High speed solids separation for applications where compact equipment and controlled operation are important.
Efficient Operation
Screw Press
Continuous dewatering with straightforward operation and a compact equipment footprint.
03 | Digester & Tank Cleaning
Digesters and tanks do not lose performance overnight. They quietly fill up.
Grit, sand, rags, scum, and settled solids take away the space your process depends on.
As buildup grows, working volume decreases, mixing can become less effective, and maintenance becomes harder to postpone. Merrell Bros. helps plan and complete digester and tank cleanouts around your facility, access, operating limits, and maintenance schedule.
04 | Lagoon Cleaning
Sludge buildup quietly takes away the capacity you depend on.
Material accumulates over time, leaving less usable volume and fewer options when conditions get tight.
Merrell Bros. helps municipal, industrial, and agricultural operations remove accumulated sludge and debris from wastewater lagoons. We evaluate the material, site conditions, access, operational needs, and removal approach before developing the project plan.
- Recover usable lagoon capacity
- Remove accumulated sludge and debris
- Support planned maintenance
- Coordinate removal, dewatering, and handling needs
05 | Dredging Services
When material settles where it should not, capacity and flow suffer.
Sediment and accumulated solids do not solve themselves. The longer material remains, the more it can limit usable depth and complicate future maintenance.
Merrell Bros. provides both hydraulic and mechanical dredging services for lagoons, ponds, channels, and similar applications. The right method depends on the material, depth, access, operating conditions, and project goals.
Learn More About Dredging
Hydraulic Dredging
Hydraulic systems move suspended material through a pipeline and can be a practical option for many large or deep lagoon projects.
Mechanical Dredging
Excavators and other mechanical equipment provide direct removal where heavier, compacted, or accessible material needs to be handled.
06 | Mobile Control Offices & Temporary Enclosures
The project keeps moving. Your team and equipment should be ready for it.
Cold weather, limited visibility, and long shifts can make an already demanding dewatering project harder. Merrell Bros. can add protection, control, and a dedicated workspace directly at the job site.
Control and Comfort at the Job Site
Mobile Control Office
Give operators a dedicated place to monitor the process and manage the work during temporary dewatering projects.
- Heating and air conditioning
- Integrated workspace
- Remote dewatering system control
- Camera monitoring capability
- Built for field use
Cold Weather Project Support
Temporary Enclosures
Temporary enclosures help protect equipment and create more manageable working conditions when cold weather threatens the project schedule.
- Custom configurations
- Built around project equipment
- Quick installation
- Optional heating
07 | Custom Fabrication
When the right solution does not exist off the shelf, build it for the plant.
A worn conveyor, missing access point, failing support, or custom equipment need can create one more problem for your maintenance team to solve. Our fabrication capabilities grew from building the technologies and equipment used throughout our own operations. That same experience can support projects inside your facility.
Catwalks & Handrails
Custom access structures designed around tanks, equipment, and plant layouts.
Conveyors & Supports
Replacement or custom fabricated conveyor components and structural support systems.
Pump & Pipe Supports
Fabricated supports and structures built around the requirements of your equipment and piping.
Custom Metalwork
Equipment modifications, plant improvements, and other custom fabrication projects that require a practical solution.
08 | Class A Technologies & Licensing
Sometimes the long term answer is not another truck. It is a different process.
Hauling volume, disposal pressure, and long term biosolids planning can eventually point toward a larger question: what if more of the material could be processed into a reusable product?
Merrell Bros. develops Class A biosolids technologies designed around drying, pasteurization, volume reduction, pelletization, and beneficial reuse. Our technologies include Solar Thermal Pasteurization, Double Drum Drying, and Pelletization systems.

09 | Off Site Disposal Services
When material needs somewhere to go, uncertainty adds pressure.
Disposal planning affects hauling, storage, schedules, and the flexibility your operation has when volumes change.
Merrell Bros. provides off site disposal options for qualifying biosolids and other accepted waste streams. Availability, acceptance requirements, location, and capacity vary by material and facility, so the best place to start is with the waste stream and project details.

10 | Farm Drainage
Water in the wrong place creates problems long after the rain stops.
Poor drainage can limit field access, interfere with planting and harvest, and leave productive ground working against you.
Our farm drainage team provides tile installation and repair, storm drainage, open ditch management, brush clearing, residential perimeter drainage, and custom drainage solutions. We focus on practical layouts and workmanship that support reliable water movement.
