SLURRY PHASE POLYMERISATION PROCESS

摘要

A PROCESS COMPRISING POLYMERISING AN OLEFIN MONOMER OPTIONALLY TOGETHER WITH AN OLEFIN COMONOMER IN THE PRESENCE OF A POLYTNERISATION CATALYST IN A DILUENT IN A LOOP REACTOR WHICH COMPRISES AT LEAST 2 HORIZONTAL SECTIONS AND AT LEAST 2 VERTICAL SECTIONS TO PRODUCE A SLURRY COMPRISING SOLID PARTICULATE OLEFIN POLYMER AI1D THE DILUENT WHEREIN THE FROUDE NUMBER IN AT LEAST 20% OF THE LENGTH OF THE VERTICAL SECTIONS OF THE REACTOR LOOP IS LESS THAN 85% OF THE FROUDE NUMBER IN AT LEAST 20% OF THE LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF THE LOOP IS DISCLOSED.
