    Abstract: A process for component separation in a polymer production system, comprising: separating a polymerization product stream into a gas stream and a polymer stream; contacting the polymer stream with a purge gas to yield a purged polymer stream and a spent purge gas stream; introducing the spent purge gas stream to a compressor to produce a compressed gas stream; introducing the compressed gas stream to a first separation unit to produce a first hydrocarbon stream and a membrane unit feed stream; introducing the membrane unit feed stream to a membrane unit to produce a first recovered purge gas stream and a retentate stream; introducing the retentate stream to a second separation unit to produce a second hydrocarbon stream and a PSA unit feed stream; and introducing the PSA unit feed stream to a PSA unit to produce a second recovered purge gas stream and a tail gas stream.

    Abstract: 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.
