Abstract: The present invention provides a method (100) for operating a centrifugal separator (1) for separating at least one liquid phase from a liquid feed mixture The centrifugal separator (1) is comprising a rotatable centrifuge bowl (3) in which the separation takes place. The method is comprising the steps of a) rotating (101) the centrifugal bowl (3) at first rotational speed (S1); b) supplying (102) a liquid feed mixture to the centrifuge bowl (3); c) separating (103) said liquid feed mixture in the centrifuge bowl (3) into at least one liquid phase at said first rotational speed (S1); d) measuring (104) a parameter (Ax) related to the separation performance of the centrifugal separator (1) and/or a parameter (Bx) of the liquid feed mixture supplied to the centrifuge bowl (3); e) changing (105) the rotational speed of the centrifuge bowl (3) from the first rotational speed (S1) to a second rotational speed (S2) based on the measured parameter of step d); and f) separating (106) said liquid feed mixture in the centrifuge bowl (3) into at least one liquid phase at said second rotational speed (S2). The present invention further provides a centrifugal separator (1) for separating at least one liquid phase from a liquid feed mixture.
