  • Patent number: 7608225
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tower reactor and the use thereof for producing high-molecular weight polyesters, such as e.g. polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polynaphthalene terephthalate (PEN), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and/or polyesters of other dicarboxylic acids and diols including copolymers thereof. It thereby concerns a single-stage tower reactor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2009
    Assignee: Uhde Inventa-Fisher GmbH
    Inventors: Eike Schulz Van Endert, Christian Atlas
  • Patent number: 7259227
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing high-molecular weight polyesters, such as e.g. polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polynaphthalene terephthalate (PEN), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and/or polyesters of other dicarboxylic acids and diols including copolymers thereof. The invention relates likewise to a device for implementing this method. The latter concerns a single-stage tower reactor with which a method, comprising only two reactors, is made available for the total process.
