Forming An Emulsion
A common problem when scaling up from lab scale mixing to production is forming an emulsion. To create an instant emulsion, make sure the dispersed phase is added just prior to the high shear in-line mixer. When mixing on a smaller (laboratory) scale, this is less critical. However, when larger volumes are being mixed, it's critical to get this right.

Famous quotes containing the word forming:
“Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
—Stella Chess (20th century)
