    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for feeding a polymerisation catalyst into a polymerisation reactor (7), comprising the steps of: (i) maintaining a catalyst slurry comprising a diluent and a solid catalyst component in a catalyst feed vessel (4); (ii) continuously withdrawing a stream of the catalyst slurry from the catalyst feed vessel (4); and (iii) introducing the withdrawn portion of the catalyst slurry into the polymerisation reactor (7), wherein the catalyst slurry is transferred by using a valveless piston pump (5) from the catalyst feed vessel (4) into the polymerisation reactor (7); the diluent has a dynamic viscosity of from 0.01 to 20 mPas at the conditions within the catalyst feed vessel (4), and wherein the catalyst slurry is transferred along a substantially vertical path downwards from the catalyst feed vessel (4) to the reactor (7).

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for polymerising olefins in multi stage polymerisation process configuration, comprising a) polymerising in a first polymerisation step first olefin monomer, optionally in the presence of at least one other alpha olefin monomer, in the presence of a polymerisation catalyst so as to form a first polymer component (A), and b) polymerising in a second polymerisation step in gas phase second olefin monomer, optionally in the presence of at least one other alpha olefin comonomer, in the presence of the first polymer component (A) of step a) and an induced swelling agent, so as to for a second polymer component (B), wherein the first polymer component (A) and the second polymer component (B) are produced at production rates meeting a predetermined target weight ratio of the second polymer component (B) to the first polymer component (A), the process comprising the steps of: i) determining a first weight ratio of the second polymer component (B) to the first polymer component (A) in the second polymerisation step, and ii) increasing the concentration of the induced swelling agent in the second polymerisation step if the determined first weight ratio is less than the predetermined target weight ratio, or iii) decreasing the concentration of the induced swelling agent in the second polymerisation step if the determined first weight ratio is greater than the predetermined target weight ratio, or iv) maintaining the concentration of the induced swelling agent in the second polymerisation step if the determined first weight ratio equals the predetermined target weight ratio. The disclosure further relates to use of an induced swelling agent in a gas phase polymerisation step for improving gas phase production split in a multi-stage olefin polymerisation process.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for polymerising olefins in multi stage polymerisation process configuration, the process comprising a) polymerising in a first polymerisation step first olefin monomer, optionally in the presence of at least one other alpha olefin comonomer, in the presence of a metallocene polymerisation catalyst so as to form a first polymer component (A); and b) transferring the first polymer component (A) into a separation unit to remove low molecule penetrants and to obtain separated solid polyolefin particles of the first polymer component (A*) and c) polymerising in in gas phase in a second polymerisation step second olefin monomer, optionally in the presence of at least one other alpha olefin comonomer in the presence of the separated solid polyolefin particles (A*) of step b), so as to form a second polymer component (B). The disclosure further relates to a method for improving performance of a metallocene polymerisation catalyst in a multi-stage olefin polymerisation, wherein a first polymer component (A) produced in a first polymerisation step is transferred into a separation unit to remove low molecule penetrants and to obtain separated solid polyolefin particles of the first polymer component (A*) prior to transferring the obtained separated solid polyolefin particles of the first polymer component (A*) to a further polymerisation step.
