Abstract: A process for preparing an ethylene polymer in a suspension polymerization including the steps of separating the formed suspension of ethylene polymer particles in a solid-liquid separator into wet ethylene polymer particles and mother liquor, drying the wet ethylene polymer particles by a gas stream and forming a gas stream carrying a hydrocarbon load, and thereafter separating the hydrocarbon load from the gas stream and thereby forming a liquid hydrocarbon recover stream, transferring a part of the mother liquor into a work-up section including an evaporator for producing a wax-depleted portion of the mother liquor and a diluent distillation unit for producing isolated diluent from the wax-depleted portion of the mother liquor, wherein a first part of the hydrocarbon recover stream is transferred to the diluent distillation unit without passing the evaporator for producing the wax-depleted portion of the mother liquor.

Abstract: A process for continuously preparing a polyolefin composition made from or containing a polyolefin and carbon black in an extruder device. The process includes the steps of supplying polyolefin in form of a polyolefin powder and carbon black to a mixing device; alternatively, (a) measuring the flow rate of the polyolefin powder supplied to the mixing device or (b) measuring the flow rate of the polyolefin pellets prepared in the extruder device; adjusting the flow rate of the carbon black to the mixing device in response to the measured flow rate of the polyolefin powder or adjusting the flow rate of the polyolefin powder to the mixing device in response to the measured flow rate of the polyolefin pellets; melting and homogenizing the mixture within the extruder device; and pelletizing the polyolefin composition into the polyolefin pellets.

Abstract: A method for preparing a dried powder is provided. The facility includes a first drying chamber having a heating element and a second drying chamber. A mixture of powder and diluent is introduced into the first drying chamber. A pre-dried powder is transferred from the first drying chamber into the second drying chamber. A dried powder, including a recirculated amount of powder and a discharge amount of powder, is formed in the second drying chamber. The recirculated amount of the dried powder is transferred by a conveyor device from the second drying chamber into the first drying chamber. The discharge amount of the dried powder is discharged from the second drying chamber.
