Then the centrifuge could be on it's own support system so it would not rest on the turbine.
I suggest you could consider this idea:
The Tesla Turbine already has a separator designed right in. The centrifugal forces inside the turbine will only allow lighter material to go to the central exit.
For example, I did an experiment using both air and water pressures in the turbine at the same time. The water tends to spin around the rim of the turbine case, and refuses to move to the middle until the case gets filled more with water.
Sometimes in a steam-driven Tesla Turbine, drain holes are drilled to allow excess water to drain out the rim. Otherwise, the water will cause extra drag on the discs, and some loss of power.
So, what you could do is run the turbine at high speeds, powered by milk! Udder pressure, of course! (hehe) It might require 50-100 psi fluid pressure to get the rpms over 1000 - 2000 rpm.
