Processing thin stillage, comprises (a) feeding thin stillage into a working container (3), (b) concentrating the thin stillage in a filtration system (9), and (c) recycling an initial partial flow of the concentrated thin stillage to the thin stillage containing in the working container, to adjust total dry substance content. An independent claim is also included for a device for producing a protein-containing valuable product of the thin stillage, comprising a working container, a filtration system, a centrifuge, preferably a separator (16), and a drying device, where the filtration system is connected to the working container via a feedback (17) for an initial partial flow of the concentrated thin stillage. Ein Verfahren zur Verarbeitung von Dünnschlempe (TS), gekennzeichnet durch folgende Schritte: a) Zuführen von Dünnschlempe (TS) in einen Arbeitsbehälter (3); b) Aufkonzentrieren von Dünnschlempe (TS) in einer Filtrationsanlage (9); und c) Rückführen eines ersten Teilstromes an aufkonzentrierter Dünnschlempe zu der in den Arbeitsbehälter (3) befindlichen Dünnschlempe (TS1) zur Einstellung des Gehaltes an Trockensubstanz und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines proteinhaltigen Wertproduktes.
