  • Publication number: 20230001374
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for producing polyolefin. The system comprises a gas phase reactor (1) for polymerizing an olefin to obtain polymerization product. The gas phase reactor (1) comprises a gas distribution plate (11) arranged inside the gas phase reactor (1); a first outlet (12) for continuously withdrawing polymerization product from the gas phase reactor (1) as a first product stream, the first outlet (12) being arranged above the gas distribution plate (11); and a second outlet (13) for continuously withdrawing polymerization product from the gas phase reactor (1) as a second product stream, the second outlet (13) being arranged above the gas distribution plate (11).

  • Patent number: 8476383
    Abstract: The present invention deals with a process of producing a polymer of at least one olefin in two consecutive reactors in gas phase in the presence of an olefin polymerization catalyst where an olefin is polymerized in a first polymerization reactor in the presence of an olefin polymerization catalyst and a first reaction gas mixture to form a fluidized bed comprising an olefin polymer and said first reaction gas mixture.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120178887
    Abstract: The present invention deals with a process of producing a polymer of at least one olefin in two consecutive reactors in gas phase in the presence of an olefin polymerisation catalyst where an olefin is polymerised in a first polymerization reactor in the presence of an olefin polymerisation catalyst and a first reaction gas mixture to form a fluidized bed comprising an olefin polymer and said first reaction gas mixture. The first reaction gas mixture together with the olefin polymer is continuously or intermittently withdrawn from the first polymerisation reactor and directed into a separation vessel so that a bed of polymer is formed in said separation vessel. A portion of said first reaction gas mixture is withdrawn from said separation vessel and returned into the first polymerization reactor to a point where the pressure is lower than in the separation vessel.
