    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous treatment of multiphase fluid flows, in particular during the operation of fuel cells, comprising the following steps: a) providing a multiphase fluid flow comprising a gas phase and a liquid phase, wherein the gas phase comprises a carrier substance and a process substance, wherein the liquid phase comprises the process substance, b) introducing the multiphase fluid flow into a continuously operable rotating separator, c) at least partially separating the liquid phase from the multiphase fluid flow by means of the rotating separator to produce a treated fluid flow comprising a treated gas phase, wherein the treated gas phase comprises the carrier substance and the process substance, wherein the quantitative proportion of the process substance in the treated gas phase is 50% or more of the quantitative proportion of the process substance in the gas phase of the multiphase fluid flow.

    Abstract: A rotor of a centrifugal separator, including a central shaft, a plurality of identical discs arranged in a stack on the central shaft, the central shaft having on an outer circumference an engagement contour for a rotationally fixed, axially slidable engagement with a corresponding contour on an inner circumference of the discs, the engagement and corresponding contours engageable with one another in multiple rotational positions at a circumferential distance from one another, and each disc having spacing elements situated at a disc circumferential distance from one another, which spacing elements hold each two adjacent discs at an axial distance from one another, forming an intermediate flow gap having a gap dimension. The spacing elements are formed and configured such that, via different rotational positions relative to one another of adjacent discs, at least two different axial dimensions of the flow gap between adjacent discs may be set.
