    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system comprising a first pump; a pelletization system that comprises an underwater pelletizer; where the pelletization system is located downstream of the first pump and is in fluid communication with it; a direct line that is located downstream of the first pump and upstream of the pelletization system; where the direct line does not contain a pump or a heat exchanger; and a bypass line that is located downstream of the first pump and upstream of the pelletization system; where the bypass line comprises a second pump; where the first pump is operative to discharge the polymer to the pelletization system via the direct line when the polymer has a melt viscosity greater than 105 centipoise; and where the first pump is operative to discharge the polymer to the pelletization system via the bypass line when the polymer has a melt viscosity less than 105 centipoise.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method comprising discharging from a reactor to an absorber a product stream that comprises a polymer or interpolymer, a solvent and hydrochloric acid; absorbing the hydrochloric acid from the product stream in the absorber; discharging the product stream now devoid of substantially all hydrochloric acid to a first heat exchanger; wherein the first heat exchanger is operative to condense the product stream devoid of hydrochloric acid from the absorber; discharging a condensate from the first heat exchanger to a collection drum that is operative to receive a condensate from the first heat exchanger; splitting up the condensate in the collection drum into a slip stream and a second stream; and discharging the slip stream to a compressor; wherein the compressor is operative to pressurize the slip stream prior to recycling it to the absorber.
