A method for homogenizing fluid emulsions and dispersions is carried out by introducing fluid in a range of pressures of from 500 p.s.i. up to 12,000 p.s.i. into a valve structure having a homogenizing aperture characterized by similar inlet and outlet openings and a connecting passageway whose cross-sectional area is constant at all points therealong. Fluid is conducted through the passageway of constant cross-sectional area in a substantially linear path of flow to produce an energy release which is a function of the length of the passageway, i.e., product travel distance and the spacing of opposite wall portions of the passageway. In one desirable mode, the homogenizing aperture may be in the form of a slit. |
