  • Separation of gases and solids using a cyclone
    Patent number: 7323038
    Abstract: Cyclone design comprising an inlet device having an inlet height (Hi) and an inlet width (Wi), a gas outlet pipe having a pipe diameter (Di) and a pipe penetration (P), a barrel having an upper barrel diameter (Db) and a barrel length (Lb), said barrel comprising a cylindrical volume on top of a conical volume, a solids outlet pipe (O), an inlet gas velocity (Ug, i) and an inlet gas flow (Q), characterised in that the ratio of the inlet gas flow to the square of the upper barrel diameter (Q/Db2) is higher than 0.5, preferably higher than 0.7, and lower than 1.5, preferably lower than 1.2 (m/s) and in that the barrel length to diameter ratio (Lb/Db) is higher than 3, preferably higher than 3.5, and lower than 6, preferably lower than 4.5.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2008
    Assignee: Ineos Europe Limited
    Inventor: Vince Reiling
  • Process for the gas-phase (co-)polymerization of olefins in a fluidized bed reactor
    Patent number: 6946530
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the gas-phase (co-)polymerization of olefins in a fluidized bed reactor wherein fouling is prevented and/or flowability of polymer is improved thanks to the use of a process aid additive.
