Abstract

A method of recovering a concentrated plant-based protein suspension comprises use of a high-speed centrifugal separator comprising a frame, a drive member and a centrifuge bowl. The drive member rotates the centrifuge bowl in relation to the frame. The centrifuge bowl encloses a separation space comprising a stack of separation discs, and comprises an inlet for receiving a plant-based protein suspension comprising suspended particles, a liquid light phase outlet for a separated liquid light phase and a liquid heavy phase outlet for a separated liquid heavy phase. The plant-based protein suspension is fed to the centrifugal separator inlet, and the plant-based protein suspension is separated into a liquid light phase and a liquid heavy phase, which comprises the concentrated protein suspension. The concentrated plant-based protein suspension is removed as the liquid heavy phase through the heavy phase outlet by influencing the discharge flow by way of a liquid flow influencer.
