    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for polymerizing at least one olefin in gas phase in a fluidized bed in a polymerization reactor having a top zone of a generally conical shape as such that the equivalent cross-sectional diameter is monotonically decreasing with respect to the flow direction of the fluidization gas, a middle zone in direct contact with and below said top zone of a generally cylindrical shape and a bottom zone in direct contact and below said middle zone and of a generally conical shape as such that the equivalent cross-sectional diameter is monotonically increasing with respect to the flow direction of the fluidization gas, comprising the steps of: a) introducing a first stream of fluidization gas into the bottom zone; b) polymerizing at least one olefin in the presence of a polymerization catalyst in the fluidized bed formed by particles of a polymer of the at least one olefin suspended in an upwards flowing stream of the fluidization gas in the middle zone; c) withdrawing a second stream comprising the fluidization gas and optionally particles of a polymer of the at least one olefin from the top zone; characterized in that the temperature of the particles of the polymer of the at least one olefin in the fluidized bed (TPP) does not exceed 120% of the operating temperature set point (TS) of the polymerization reactor, wherein TPP and TS are both given in ° C., and the use of said process for polymerizing an olefin homo- or copolymer having a narrow particle size distribution.

    Abstract: The present invention deals with an olefin polymerisation process. At least one olefin is polymerised in gas phase in a fluidised bed in the presence of an olefin polymerisation catalyst in a polymerisation reactor having a vertical body; a generally conical downwards tapering bottom zone; a generally cylindrical middle zone above and connected to said bottom zone; and a generally conical upwards tapering top zone above and connected to said middle zone. Fluidisation gas is introduced to the bottom zone of the reactor from where it passes upwards through the reactor, and withdrawn from the top zone of the reactor. The gas is then compressed, cooled and returned into the bottom zone of the reactor. A fluidised bed is thus formed within the reactor where the growing polymer particles are suspended in the upwards rising gas stream wherein the superficial velocity of the fluidisation gas is less than the transport velocity of the particles. There is no fluidisation grid in the reactor. The fluidisation gas is passed from an inlet chamber into the bottom zone and the gas flows from the upper part of the inlet chamber to the lower part thereof and the gas flows from the lower part of the inlet chamber to the bottom zone.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing alpha-olefin polymers in a multistage polymerization process which includes at least two gas phase polymerization reactors, wherein unreacted gas withdrawn from the second gas phase polymerization reactor is compressed in a compressor and said compressed gas is fed via a conveying gas line into an outlet between a first outlet vessel downstream of the first gas phase polymerization reactor and said second gas phase polymerisation reactor. Such a process can alleviate problems of malfunction, disturbances or plugging of the transfer lines and enables higher productivity and considerable saving of energy and equipment cost. Moreover, the production of alpha-olefin polymers with varying and tailored properties is possible.
