Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Process for stopping and restarting a polymerization in a system having a gas phase fluidized bed or stirred bed reactor, a degassing vessel and a seedbed storage silo, by conducting a first polymerization in the reactor using a polymerization catalyst to produce a first polymer, stopping the polymerization and removing the first polymer from the reactor to the degassing vessel, and either: introducing from the seedbed storage silo into the reactor a different seed-bed compatible with a second polymerization, passing to the seedbed storage silo the first polymer from the degassing vessel to form a new seedbed in the storage silo, and conducting the second polymerization in the reactor to produce a second polymer; or passing to the reactor at least a portion of the first polymer from the degassing vessel to thereby form a new seedbed in the reactor, and conducting a polymerization in the reactor to produce polymer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for stopping and restarting polymerisation in a polymerisation system comprising, i) a gas phase fluidised bed or stirred bed reactor. ii) two or more catalyst system feeds to pass at least first and second catalyst systems to the reactor, iii) a degassing vessel fluidly connected to the reactor to receive polymer product therefrom, and iv) at least one seed-bed storage silo connected to the degassing vessel to receive polymer therefrom…
