In a method for improving separation performance of a decanter centrifuge, the centrifuge is inspected to determine whether the centrifuge is operating in a Coriolis-resist or a Coriolis-neutral mode wherein Coriolis forces acting on liquid flow tend to direct the liquid flow radially inwardly or axially, respectively. Upon determining that the centrifuge is operating in a Coriolis-resist or Coriolis-neutral mode, the centrifuge is modified to operate in a Coriolis-assist mode where Coriolis forces act on liquid flow in a radially outward direction and thereby augment the action of centrifugal force in the separations process. Radially extending flow obstructions in a ribbon-type centrifuge are provided with radial vanes to compensate for Coriolis forces and improve centrifuge performance. |
