Process Advantages
- Mechanically simple, technologically elegant, refined, and robust
- Single stage process for homopolymers and randoms; two stages for impact copolymers
- No moving parts in the reactor; no cyclone or other mechanical gas/solid separationequipment
- Mild process conditions; no solvents to handle or recover
- Recovery and reuse of vent streams for high monomer yields
- Gravity flow of resin and close-coupled pelleting
- Product properties and process parameters easily controlled for excellent product consistencyand final resin performance
- Excellent investment and conversion costs
- Advanced process control available
Operating Advantages
- Consistent product quality due to uniform reaction conditions in the well-mixed fluidized bed environment
- Wide gas phase operating envelope provides product flexibility
- Stable plant operation gives excellent on-stream, capacity, and aim-grade factors
- Robust and easily controlled reaction system due to limited interdependencies betweenindependent and simple process facilities
- Low pressures and temperatures, inherently safe operation, environmentally friendly
