Abstract
Emulsions are prepared utilizing an emulsification device comprising an enclosure having orifices thereby permitting flow of a fluid through the enclosure along one of its axis, of any cross-section profile perpendicular to its axis for fluid flow, which enclosure is packed with a material which causes the flow of fluids to be broken down into many fine streams which fine streams, being in intimate contact one with the other, remix rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in the formation of the desired emulsion. The fluids which are mixed in the packed enclosure are fed to the enclosure by fluid feeding means such as pumps or by gravity feed tanks and conduits communicatively attached to the packed enclosure. The fluids fed into the packed enclosure are introduced into the enclosure in close proximity one to another so as to insure maximum intermixing of the different fluids.
