High-Pressure Pumping and Homogenization in chemical processing receives much less publicity than its use in the food and dairy industry, but applications are many and varied. High pressure homogenization under dynamic conditions is ideal to create stable emulsions, dispersions and mixes.
The subdivision of particles and droplets increases their available surface area, which can improve chemical reaction processes by reducing reaction time and temperatures, and minimize or even eliminate the need for catalysts. The application of high pressure often enhances extraction processes, and the color intensity in many pigments and paints. Homogenization is used in the petrochemical industry for optimum additive blending and viscosity control.
Machines are available in ATEX and Ex-proof executions for classified production areas.
