16. A method for controlling operation of centrifuge with a rotatable drum while clarifying of a product or in a separating of a product into different liquid phases with the drum, the method comprising controlling noise of the centrifuge by:
-
a. defining at least one noise level limit; b. measuring, using a sensor while rotating the drum, noise of the centrifuge; c. providing data measured by the sensor to a controller, wherein the controller compares the measured data to target data and at least one correcting variable based on the comparison; and d. controlling, by the controller using the at least one correcting variable or a plurality of correcting variables, the operation of the centrifuge so that the noise of the centrifuge does not exceed the at least one noise level limit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
