Decanter Centrifuge Market

Decanter Centrifuge Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2021-2031

Decanter Centrifuge Market: Introduction

Decanter centrifuge is the equipment used to separate solid materials from liquids of different densities through high rotational speed. Decanter centrifuge is used in pharmaceuticals, wastewater management, chemicals, oil, and food processing industries. Decanter centrifuge works on the principle of high rotational speed producing force greater than the gravity (up to 4000G) to reduce the setting time of higher density materials at the bottom. A horizontal bowl of decanter centrifuge consists of the cylindrical and conical part which rotates to pump the feed and a screw conveyor is used to transport the settled particles; clarified liquid leaves the bowl with a discharge outlet. There are several factors that affect the performance of a decanter centrifuge such as bowl diameter and motor horsepower.
Different types of decanter centrifuge are available based on type, design, and end-use industry.

Key Drivers of the Decanter Centrifuge Market

The major factors driving the growth of the market is the rise in demand for decanter centrifuges in process industries due to its various features such as easy installation, fast starting and shutting down operation, less space required, multipurpose functionality, and high capacity.
The rising need for wastewater management solutions across the globe for different industries is also fueling the growth of the decanter centrifuge market.
Rapid developments in various sectors like wastewater treatment, food & beverages, and pharmaceutical industries in developing countries (China and India) and their increasing economic growth are factors that drive the decanter centrifuge market.
Strict government guidelines for industrial wastewater management is also driving the decanter centrifuge market. Several industries including mineral, food and processing, and biofuel industries have to follow these guidelines.

Restraints of the Decanter Centrifuge Market

Major restraints of the decanter centrifuge market are the high cost associated with the machinery including vibrations absorbing foundation cost, processing, and maintenance cost of high-speed rotating spare parts.
Trade barriers, low production, and restrictions in logistics caused by the Coronavirus pandemic in almost every sector have hampered the growth of the market.

North America and Europe to Hold Major Share of the Global Decanter Centrifuge Market

The increase in demand for crude oil, gas, and oil drilling activities, strict government guidelines for wastewater management, growing food processing sectors, technological advancements, and government support for the development of innovative decanter centrifuges are the key factors driving the growth of the decanter centrifuge market in the North America region.
