It's pretty simple, actually. You put the process you developed in a centrifuge if it doesn't work in microgravity. Much of the life support (and water recovery) system on ISS (which is just a large collection of several industrial processes) uses centrifuges for this purpose.

Not much, probably, at least in the very short term. Cumulatively though? A device weighing a few hundred KG, rotating at a few thousand RPM for a few hours or days or weeks at a time? What effect do you think that might have on your 'quite simple' centripetal environment, floating as it is in zero g? Sure, it can be accounted for — but it's not 'pretty simple, actually'. Anything but.
