Hence, a separation that might not be possible under gravity might be possible in a centrifuge. Obviously, a separation that is possible under gravity will be much quicker in a centrifuge, due to the enhanced g force. However, if there is little density difference between the particle and fluid the separation under gravity and in a

— The efficiency of centrifugal separation will depend on the difference between the specific gravity of the liquid and the solid being filtered. This separation efficiency will increase if the difference is large. The separation efficiency is also affected by the particle size. For most separators, 40 microns is considered the visibility threshold.
