Abstract: Methods for producing polyethylene compositions having broader melt index ratio and narrower molecular weight distribution in high pressure multi-feed tubular reactors are provided. The methods are useful in multi-feed tubular reactors comprising three or more reaction zones. The first reaction zone or the first and second reaction zone having a peak temperature that is lower than standard peak temperatures for polymerization of ethylene monomer in a tubular reactor.

Abstract: Both a system and method for cleaning a low pressure separation vessel of a high pressure polyethylene polymerization plant are provided. The system includes a polytetrafluoroethylene lining that covers the interior surfaces of the vessel, and a cover mounting assembly including an annular clamp for detachably mounting a cover over the vessel. The mounting assembly includes a clamp actuator for quickly securing and releasing the cover with respect to a top rim of the vessel. The vessel is drained of liquid polyethylene and allowed to cool to ambient temperature, thus creating a frozen “skin” of polyethylene around the interior surfaces of the vessel. The clamp actuator releases the cover. The polyethylene skin is peeled off the interior sides the vessel and gathered up at the top to form a neck, thus peeling the polyethylene skin away from the polytetrafluoroethylene lining along with any degraded polymers or other impurities that have accumulated on the interior surfaces of the vessel.

Abstract: Controlling the shutdown of a polyethylene reactor system that includes a secondary compressor, a reactor, a high pressure let down valve (HPLDV), a high-pressure separator, and a high-pressure recycle gas system is provided. After a partial or complete shutdown of secondary compressor, HPLDV opens to a pre-set open position until the reactor pressure reduces to either a pre-set reduced pressure limit or a until the slope of the reactor gas density to reactor pressure exceeds 0.15. The HPLDV controls the pressure to a pressure set point.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides processes for producing polyethylene resins. In at least one embodiment, a polyethylene has: a density of from about 0.91 g/cm3 to about 0.94 g/cm3; a value of Mz of about 1,500,000 g/mol or greater; and a ratio of Mz to Mw of about 7 or greater. A process includes introducing a first feed stream having ethylene monomer and a first free radical initiator to a first inlet of a first reaction zone, where the first reaction zone has a first inlet temperature. The process further includes introducing a second feed stream having ethylene monomer and a second free radical initiator to a second inlet of a second reaction zone, where the second reaction zone has a second inlet temperature that is the same or different than the first inlet temperature.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and processes for cooling polymer product mixtures manufactured at high pressure. The processes of the invention involve cooling and then subsequently reducing the pressure of the product mixture from the reactor. In the systems of the invention, a product cooler is located downstream of the high pressure reactor and upstream of a high pressure let down valve.
