Disperse non-polyalphaolefin drag reducing polymers

A process for forming a drag reducer, comprising:

• forming a first plurality of polymer particles, wherein the first plurality of particles have a first average particle size of less than about 1 micrometer;
• consolidating at least a portion of the first plurality of polymer particles to form a second plurality of polymer particles, wherein the second plurality of polymer particles have a second average particle size greater than the first average particle size;
• and
• forming a third plurality of polymer particles from the second plurality of polymer particles, wherein the third plurality of polymer particles have a third average particle size less than the second average particle size and greater than the first average particle size.
