Clarifiers are expected to be the leading product followed by disc centrifuges. According to McIlvaine, clarifiers will find extensive use in municipal wastewater treatment and mining, while disc centrifuges will generate uptake in food and pharmaceutical applications. Decanter and other centrifuge types will account for more than $1.3 billion in sales. Decanters are used in wastewater and chemical applications. Meanwhile, basket centrifuges will generate use in coal dewatering, fine chemicals, and lubricating oil purification, with hydrocyclones generating use in mining, metals and nonmetallic minerals and dissolved air flotation in municipal wastewater and food effluent treatment.
