Abstract: A process for monitoring the polymerization of ethylene or ethylene and comonomers in the presence of free-radical polymerization initiator at pressures in the range of from 160 MPa to 350 MPa and temperatures in the range of from 100° C. to 350° C. in a tubular reactor with one or more reaction zones, which is equipped with cooling jackets for cooling the tubular reactor with a cooling medium, comprising a step of measuring as process parameters the temperature profile and the pressure of the reaction medium and the flow and temperature profile of the cooling medium along the reactor.

Abstract: Process for polymerizing at least one olefinic monomer in a loop reactor at from 20 to 150° C., but below the melting point of the polymer to be formed, and a pressure of from 5 to 100 bar, where the polymer formed is present in a suspension in a liquid or supercritical suspension medium and this suspension is circulated by means of an axial pump, wherein the loop reactor comprises a cyclic reactor tube whose diameter varies by at least 10%, based on the predominant reactor tube diameter, and in which there is at least one widening and narrowing in a region other than that of the axial pump.

Abstract: Process for polymerizing at least one olefinic monomer selected from ethylene, propylene and 1-butene in a loop reactor in the presence of a polymerization catalyst at from 20 to 150° C., but below the melting point of a polymer to be formed, and a pressure of from 43 to 80 bar, where the polymer formed is present in a suspension in a liquid or supercritical suspension medium and wherein the suspension is circulated by means of an axial pump, wherein the polymerization is carried out at an average solids concentration in the reactor of more than 53% by weight, in the case of continuous product discharge, and at an average solids concentration in the reactor of more than 45% by weight, in the case of discontinuous product discharge, and wherein the polymerization is carried out at an ethylene concentration of at least 10 mol %, based on the suspension medium.
