Abstract:
A method of homogenization of a pressurised liqueform emulsion comprising pressurizing a liquid to a pressure of approximately 10-25 MPa causing the pressurized liquid to pass at least two concentrically placed homogenization gaps thereby subjecting the liquid to a first part of the homogenization, wherein the liquid, when passing out from one of the homogenization gaps at high speed flow created by a rapid pressure drop from the approximately 10-25 MPa down to approximately 0 MPa and into a restricted space, meets the liquid from one or more of the other homogenization gaps, whereby the liquid is subjected to a second part of the homogenization in the restricted space as a result of turbulence created by the converging high speed flows of liquid, wherein the at least two concentrically placed homogenization gaps are adjacent the restricted space.
