Dear Becky, In LLLI's magazine for Leaders, April-May 2003, there is an 
article called "Bobby's Diary: Nursing a Baby with Chylothorax" by Trish 
Whitehouse (Southbury CT USA). This article has a lot of how they did things 
to reduce the fat content of her milk. I bet you could find a copy of this 
article on LLLI's web site. Look under articles or maybe "articles for 
Leaders".

Here is what it says
1. The whole human milk is placed into tubes that have outlets at the base.
2. The tubes are placed in the centifuge.
3. The milk is centrifuged for six minutes at 1.03Gs to obtain the required 
force to separate the milk parts. (The centrifuge used determines the RPMs 
per the manufacturer's recommendations.)
4. When the centrifuge opens, the tubes of separated milk are gently taken 
from the centrifuge.
5. The "skim" milk can be removed from the tube. The end cap at the base of 
the tube is removed allowing for the "skim" milk to flow out. As the "fat" 
layer gets near the tube exit port the flow is stopped. The remaining "fat" 
layer from the tube is put into another container for use later.
