  • Measurement of product pellets flow rate
    Patent number: 11673750
    Abstract: A process is described that includes flowing a carrier fluid through a transfer line, feeding polymer pellets into the transfer line at a feed location, measuring a first pressure value of the carrier fluid at a location in the transfer line upstream of the feed location, measuring a second pressure value of the carrier fluid and polymer pellets at a downstream location in the transfer line which is downstream of the feed location, and determining a mass flow rate of the polymer pellets flowing in the transfer line based on a differential pressure between the first pressure value and the second pressure value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2023
    Assignee: Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP
    Inventors: John D. Hottovy, Paresh C. Mody
