METHOD FOR SOLUBILIZING BIOPOLYMER SOLIDS FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY APPLICATIONS.

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method to rapidly solubilize beta glucan (BG) material comprising passing the beta glucan material, in solution, through an in-line high shear system, wherein viscosity of the solubilized beta glucan material is 90% or greater of ultimate viscosity and wherein filterability ratio of the solubilized beta glucan material ranges from about 1-2.
