The static devolatilisation apparatus (1) serves to treat a liquid (7) containing polymers for the purpose of polymer devolatilisation. In this process, volatile components are separated from the polymers in that the liquid standing under pressure is expanded in a container (10). A discharge pump (3) for the devolatilised polymer is located at the base of a sump region. An extraction line (4) for gases (8) formed from the volatile components and at least one phase separation chamber (2) are arranged in upper regions (11, 12) of the container. This chamber includes an inlet (20) for the liquid to be treated, lower openings (210) of a polymer discharge region and a single upper opening or a plurality of upper openings (220) of a gas discharge region. |
