    摘要: A process for component separation in a polymer production system comprising: (a) separating a polymerization product into a gas stream and a polymer stream; (b) processing the gas stream in distillation columns to yield a light hydrocarbon stream (LHS) comprising ethylene and ethane; (c) contacting LHS with a purged hydrocarbon adsorber to yield a loaded hydrocarbon adsorber and a non-adsorbed gas stream, wherein ethane is adsorbed by the purged hydrocarbon adsorber at a first pressure to yield adsorbed ethane, and wherein the non-adsorbed gas stream comprises recovered ethylene; (d) contacting the loaded hydrocarbon adsorber with a sweeping gas stream at a second pressure to yield an unloaded hydrocarbon adsorber and a recovered adsorbed gas stream comprising the sweeping gas stream and desorbed ethane; and (e) contacting the unloaded hydrocarbon adsorber with the sweeping gas stream at the first pressure to yield the purged hydrocarbon adsorber and a spent sweeping gas.

    摘要: A method of operating a dump tank of a polymer production process by transferring all or a portion of a content of a polymerization reactor into the dump tank, wherein the reactor contents comprise solid polymer, and liquid and gaseous non-product components, and removing at least a portion of the liquid and gaseous non-product components from the dump tank by: reducing a pressure of the dump tank, subjecting the solid polymer to a first cleaning stage comprising heating the solid polymer by introducing a first heated treatment gas into the dump tank, and subjecting the solid polymer to a second cleaning stage comprising purging the solid polymer by introducing a second heated treatment gas into the dump tank.

    摘要: A polyolefin reactor flashline heater system may include an enclosure, a heating section, and a transformer. The heating section is contained in the enclosure and extends between a first end and a second end. The first end is fluidically coupled to a polyolefin reactor product inlet. The second end is fluidically coupled to a heated product outlet. One or more pipe sections are coupled in series between the first end and the second end. The one or more pipe sections are formed of an electrically conducting material and have a predetermined diameter to transport a polyolefin reactor stream from the first end to the second end. The transformer is electrically coupled to the first end and the second end and configured to heat the heating section by impedance heating. A polymerization system may include a polyolefin reactor coupled to the polyolefin reactor flashline heater system.
