1. A process of making multi-phase mixtures comprising the steps of:
- a) pressurizing components of the mixtureb) passing the components through a first high pressure mixing zone,c) after passing the components through the first mixing zone, passing the pressurized components through a heat exchanger to cool the components, andd) after passing the pressurized components through the heat exchanger, forcing the pressurized mixture through a last high pressure mixing zone, wherein the process is characterized in that no repressurization step occurs between steps b) and d).

11. An apparatus for preparing mixtures comprising
a high pressure pump which pressurizes components of the mixture, a first high pressure mixing zone in which the components are mixed by flowing through the first zone, a high pressure heat exchanger in which the components are cooled after passing through the first high pressure mixing zone, and a last high pressure mixing zone in which the components are mixed by flowing through the second zone.
