Systems and methods for separating particles from fluids are provided. The system comprises a vessel with at least two fluid inlets and a fluid outlet wherein one fluid inlet is positioned higher in the vessel than the other fluid inlet. The fluid inlets may be connected to a polymerization reactor and each fluid inlet may be configured to deliver fluid to the vessel from a different zone of the polymerization reactor. During shut-down of a polymerization reactor, reaction mixture is discharged to a separation system where polymer particles are removed from the mixture prior to being released into the atmosphere.

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.

Systems and processes for rapidly depressurizing a reactor system are disclosed. The systems and processes are particularly useful in the high pressure polymerization of ethylene.
摘要:
A process for producing ethylene polymer in a tubular reactor includes compressing ethylene monomer to a pressure between 2000 bar and 2300 bar; heating the ethylene monomer to a temperature between 135°C and 200°C; introducing initiator into the tubular reactor in at least five separate locations, thereby defining at least five reaction zones; and separating the ethylene polymer from the reaction mixture; wherein the ethylene polymer has a polydispersity, Mw/Mn, no less than 7.0.
摘要:
The invention provides a process and an apparatus for the high pressure polymerization of ethylene in which a jet pump is used to pump a fluid into a polymer/monomer product mixture leaving a bumped tubular reactor. The fluid may be recycled monomer or another fluid such as a modifier.

Methods for polymerizing polyethylene in a tubular reactor may comprise: compressing ethylene monomer to a. pressure from about 2900 bar to about 3150 bar; introducing the compressed ethylene monomer and a modifier into the tubular reactor having two or more reaction zones, wherein each of the two or more reaction zones independently has a peak zonal temperature within a range of about 180°C to about 300°C; and producing a polyethylene composition having a density of about 0.9320 g/cm3 to about 0.9350 g/cm3 measured by ASTM D1505-18 using sample preparation according to ASTM 02839-16.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of ethylene polymers and copolymers in which ethylene is compressed in a primary compressor at a throughput of at least 55 tonnes/hour, mixed with recycled ethylene and further compressed in a two-stage reciprocating secondary compressor having at least 14 cylinders to a pressure of at least 2300 bar at a throughput of at least 120 tonnes/hour, heating at least a portion of that ethylene to a temperature of at least 95°C and introducing it into a tubular reactor of diameter at least 65 mm and a length of at least 1500 m, introducing initiator in at least three reaction zones to give a conversion of at least 28% and maintaining a pressure drop over the reactor to maintain a flow velocity of at least 6 m/s.
