          Appeal No. 1997-1604                                                        
          Application No. 08/273,688                                                  


          surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition, which method                     
          comprises: a) removing some portion of hydrophobic liquid from              
          said starting dehydrated polymer/emulsifying                                
          surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition in a first                        
          centrifuge, thereby producing a pourable concentrated                       
          polymer/emulsifying surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition               
          and a first centrifuge raffinate; and b) centrifuging said                  
          first centrifuge raffinate in a second centrifuge to capture                
          additional polymer solids.                                                  

               18. A viscous, pourable polymer emulsifying                            
          surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition having a viscosity                
          of about 300 cps to 25,000 cps and containing greater than                  
          about 60% polymer solids and less than about 5% water prepared              
          by centrifuging a starting dehydrated polymer/emulsifying                   
          surfactant/hydrophobic liquid composition, wherein said                     
          polymer is a water soluble polymer prepared from one or more                
          ethlenically unsaturated monomers.
