Abstract: A process for polymerizing olefin monomer(s) in a gas-solids olefin polymerization reactor comprising a top zone; a middle zone, which comprises a top end in direct contact with said top zone and which is located below said top zone, the middle zone having a generally cylindrical shape; and a bottom zone, which is in direct contact with a bottom end of the middle zone and which is located below the middle zone; comprising the following steps: introducing a fluidization gas stream into the bottom zone; polymerizing olefin monomer(s) in the presence of a polymerization catalyst in a dense phase formed by particles of a polymer of the olefin monomer(s) suspended in an upwards flowing stream of the fluidization gas in the middle zone; introducing a jet gas stream through one or more jet gas feeding ports in a jet gas feeding area of the middle zone at the dense phase in the middle zone of the gas-solids olefin polymerization reactor; wherein the kinetic energy (EJG) input in the reactor by the jet stream is between 1.5 and 50 times higher than the kinetic energy (EFG) input in the reactor by the fluidization gas stream (FG).

Abstract: The present invention deals with a process of polymerising at least one olefin in a fluidised bed in a fluidised bed polymerisation reactor comprising a top zone, a middle zone in direct contact and below, a bottom zone in direct contact with and below the middle zone and wherein the reactor does not comprise a fluidisation grid. The process comprises passing a stream comprising the fluidisation gas and polymer particles into a separation step and withdrawing a stream comprising the polymer particles from the separation step and returning it to the polymerisation reactor. The process comprises adding a support gas stream to the stream comprising the polymer particles downstream of the separation step.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for polymerizing olefins in gas phase in a fluidized bed reactor having a vertical body, a generally conical downwards tapering bottom zone, a generally cylindrical middle zone above the bottom zone, and a generally conical upwards tapering top zone above the middle zone. The fluidization gas is withdrawn from the top zone of the reactor, compressed and cooled so that a part of the fluidization gas condenses and then introduced to the bottom zone of the reactor. The bed is thus cooled upon evaporation of the liquid. There is no fluidization grid in the reactor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for separating hydrocarbons from a solution comprising a polymer. The process comprises the steps of: (A) withdrawing a solution stream comprising the polymer from a first vessel; (B) passing the solution stream into a flash vessel; (C) spraying the solution stream into droplets in the first flash vessel thereby establishing a stream of droplets within the flash vessel. The solution forms a downwards falling film within the flash vessel.
