    Abstract: Systems and techniques can be used to invert an emulsion polymer under ultra-high shear. In some examples, a method for inverting an emulsion involves introducing the emulsion into a process liquid to form a dilute emulsion. The emulsion may be defined by a continuous phase and a discontinuous phase containing a polymer, with the polymer being soluble in the process liquid but the continuous phase being immiscible in the process liquid. A fluid pressurization device can pressurize the dilute emulsion to form a pressurized dilute emulsion. Thereafter, the pressurized dilute emulsion can be passed through a multi-channel flow restrictor, such as a capillary bundle, thereby generating a shear force for dispersing and inverting the emulsion in the process liquid.

    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting polymer includes a rotor having a base with a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The rotor includes an outer annular wall extending from the first side and defining a number of slots, an inner annular wall defining a number of slots and extending from the first side and surrounded by, and spaced apart from, the outer annular wall. The rotor also includes blades extending from the first side and positioned within the inner annular wall. A circular-shaped stator also defines a number of slots. At least a portion of the stator is positioned in a space between the outer annular wall and the inner annular wall of the rotor.

    Abstract: A system for continuously making-down a dry powder material is provided. The system may include a liquid supply system, a material feed system, a vessel, a filter, and an agitator. The vessel may receive a continuous supply of liquid from the liquid supply system and a continuous supply of dry powder from the material feed system. The liquid and material may be discharged continuously from the vessel. A filter may sealingly extend across the outlet to filter the solution exiting the vessel. The filter may include an upstream surface in contact with the inner volume of the vessel. The agitator may be disposed within the vessel and may be configured to agitate the contents of the vessel. The agitator may include a wiping member configured to contact the upstream surface of the filter while agitating the contents.
