A centrifuge for treatment of fluids is provided. The centrifuge comprises a stationary vessel, a stationary pipe passing through the stationary vessel, a baffle disk fixedly mounted on the stationary pipe, a rotating drum mounted on and rotatable about the stationary pipe inside the stationary vessel and divided by the baffle disk into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber. The outlet chamber is provided with outlet means and further comprises drive means to impart a rotary motion to the drum. The stationary pipe is divided into two mutually sealed-off sections, an inlet section and an outlet section, both of which pipe sections are perforated over that part of their respective length, which is located within said rotating drum. The arrangement is such that upon the introduction of a multi-component fluid into the inlet section of the stationary pipe, the fluid disperses into the interior of the rotating drum through the perforations in the inlet sections and, being entrained by the inside surfaces of the rotating drum, the fluid is affected by centrifugal forces, due to which forces the heavier components of the fluid are caused to migrate toward the periphery of the drum to exit via the outlet means, while the lighter components of the fluid are displaced toward the perforations of the outlet section of the stationary pipe, through which perforations the lighter components are drawn into the outlet section to be removed therefrom.
