Slurry Polymerization Reactor Having Large Length/Diameter Ratio

US Patent:
7033545, Apr 25, 2006
Filed:
Sep 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/251662
Inventors:
Scott E. Kufeld - Houston TX, US
Thomas A. Reid - Deer Park TX, US
John H. Tait - Stafford TX, US
David H. Burns - Houston TX, US
Donald W. Verser - Houston TX, US
Harvey D. Hensley - Bartlesville OK, US

Teddy H. Cymbaluk - Seabrook TX, US
Robert K. Franklin - Houston TX, US
Ethelwoldo P. Perez - Sugar Land TX, US
John D. Hottovy - Bartlesville OK, US
Assignee:
Chevon Phillips Chemical Company, LP - The Woodlands TX
International Classification:
C08F 2/01, B01J 8/08, B01J 8/10
US Classification:
422135, 422131, 422132, 526 64
Abstract:
A polymerization loop reactor including a loop reaction zone, a continuous takeoff, and a fluid slurry disposed in the reaction zone. A generally cylindrical wall defines the loop reaction zone. The length of the loop reaction zone and the nominal outside diameter of the generally cylindrical wall define a length/diameter ratio greater than 250. The reactor can be charged with a fluid slurry including an olefin monomer reactant, solid olefin polymer particles, and a liquid diluent. The concentration of the solid olefin polymer particles in the slurry can be greater than 40 weight percent based on the weight of polymer particles and the weight of liquid diluent. Also disclosed is a polymerization process carried out by polymerizing, in the loop reaction zone of a reactor as defined above, at least one olefin monomer in a liquid diluent to produce a fluid slurry as defined above.

High Solids, High Space-Time Yield Slurry Polymerization

US Patent:
2003001, Jan 16, 2003
Filed:
Jun 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/177624
Inventors:
John Hottovy - Bartlesville OK, US
Harvey Hensley - Bartlesville OK, US
David Przelomski - Houston TX, US
Teddy Cymbaluk - Pasadena TX, US
Robert Franklin - Houston TX, US
Ethelwoldo Perez - Sugar Land TX, US
Assignee:
Phillips Petroleum Company - Bartlesville OK
International Classification:
B32B027/04
US Classification:
422/132000, 526/064000, 526/104000, 526/348000
Abstract:
An olefin polymerization process wherein monomer, at least one olefin comonomer different from the olefin monomer, diluent and catalyst are circulated in a continuous loop reactor and product slurry is recovered by means of a continuous product take off. The continuous product allows operating the reaction at significantly higher solids content in the circulating slurry. The polymerization process operates at a space-time yield of at least 2.18 lb/hr-gal.

High Solids Slurry Polymerization

US Patent:
2003009, May 15, 2003
Filed:
Nov 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/301281
Inventors:
John Hottovy - Bartlesville OK, US
Harvey Hensley - Bartlesville OK, US
David Przelomski - Houston TX, US
Teddy Cymbaluk - Pasadena TX, US
Robert Franklin - Houston TX, US
Ethelwoldo Perez - Sugar Land TX, US
International Classification:
C08F002/00, C08G085/00
US Classification:
526/064000
Abstract:
An olefin polymerization process wherein monomer, diluent and catalyst are circulated in a continuous loop reactor and product slurry is recovered by means of a continuous product take off. The continuous product allows operating the reaction at significantly higher solids content in the circulating slurry. In a preferred embodiment, the slurry is heated in a flash line heater and passed to a high pressure flash where a majority of the diluent is separated and thereafter condensed by simple heat exchange, without compression, and thereafter recycled. Also an olefin polymerization process operating at higher reactor solids by virtue of more aggressive circulation.

Pumping Apparatus For Slurry Polymerization In Loop Reactors

US Patent:
7014821, Mar 21, 2006
Filed:
Sep 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/663322
Inventors:
John D. Hottovy - Bartlesville OK, US
Dale A. Zellers - Bartlesville OK, US
Robert K. Franklin - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LP - The Woodlands TX
International Classification:
C08F 2/01, B01J 8/08, B01J 8/10
US Classification:
422135, 422131, 422132, 526 64
Abstract:
An olefin polymerization process and apparatus wherein a fluid slurry comprising monomer, diluent and catalyst is circulated in a continuous loop reactor by two or more pumps. The process and apparatus allow operating the reaction at significantly higher solids content in the circulating fluid slurry. In a preferred embodiment, the fluid slurry is circulated by two impellers arranged so that the downstream impeller benefits from the rotational energy imparted by the upstream impeller. An olefin polymerization process operating at higher reactor solids by virtue of more aggressive circulation has improved efficiencies, particularly in larger-volume reactors.
