A conveyor for a centrifuge, the conveyor in certain aspects having a length and including a plurality of spaced-apart flight members spaced apart along the length of the conveyor, a plurality of support members extending between, and connected to the spaced-apart flight members, the support members spaced-apart around the plurality of spaced-apart flight members, the spaced-apart flight members and plurality of support members defining a plurality of open areas through which fluid to be treated by the centrifuge is flowable from within the conveyor, and at least one accelerating impeller within and connected to the conveyor for accelerating the fluid; and/or a flow enhancer for accelerating fluid, e.g., but not limited to, in a low-flow mode and/or a chamber encompassing an internal centrifuge feed tube so fluid to be treated is fed only at a beach area of a centrifuge bowl; a centrifuge with such a conveyor; and methods for using such a conveyor and such a centrifuge.
