Abstract (en)
The present invention provides a method (100) of separating liquid feed mixture comprising yeast. The method comprises the steps of a) introducing (101) the liquid feed mixture into a centrifugal separator (1); b) continuously discharging (102) a separated liquid heavy phase comprising yeast from the centrifugal separator; c) continuously discharging (103) a separated liquid light phase from the centrifugal separator; and d) introducing (104) a portion of the separated liquid light phase into the separated liquid heavy phase comprising yeast; thereby decreasing the viscosity of the separated liquid heavy phase. The present invention further provides a separation system (90) for separating liquid feed mixture comprising yeast.
