摘要 |
This invention relates to a method to start up an olefin polymerization process comprising: a. calculating a trajectory, from elements including catalyst deactivation rate constants (kd), for the rate of introduction of a catalyst system, into a reactor, said catalyst system comprising two different metal catalyst compounds (A and B) and at least one activator, wherein the ratio of the deactivation constants of the two different metal catalyst compounds kdA/kdB is not 1; and b. introducing olefin monomer, a catalyst system, optional co-monomer, and optional chain transfer or termination agents into a polymerization reactor in a manner such that the catalyst system introduction rate is manipulated to follow the trajectory until a desired production rate is achieved.
