A centrifugal separator for separating at least one liquid phase from a liquid feed mixture includes a frame, a drive member and a rotatable part. The drive member is configured to rotate the rotatable part in relation to the frame around an axis of rotation. The rotatable part includes a centrifuge bowl enclosing a separation space. The separation space includes surface enlarging inserts for increasing the separation performance of the centrifugal separator. The centrifugal separator includes an interface level sensor for detecting at least one interface between separated phases in the centrifuge bowl during operation of the centrifugal separator; and a transmission configured for wireless transmission of information of the at least one interface to a receiver outside of the centrifuge bowl. The centrifugal separator includes a solid transmission window arranged in the wall of the centrifuge bowl, the solid transmission window having a higher transmission capacity for the wireless communication signal than the material of the centrifuge bowl.

A method and system are for separating a suspension into solid and fluid components. The suspension is centrifuged about a substantially vertical axis of rotation to concentrate solid components in a first lower flow stream and fluid components in a first upper flow stream. The first upper flow stream may be centrifuged about a substantially vertical axis of rotation to concentrate solid components in a second lower flow stream and fluid components in a second upper flow stream. The first lower flow stream, the second lower flow stream, or both, may be centrifuged about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation to separate water from stackable dry tailings. The method and system may be applied to separation of tailings or other suspensions.
