Abstract

The fluidized-bed polymerization process has been in use for decades. From the manufacturer's perspective it is desirable to improve technology without major modification of the reactor system. Therefore, in order to meet the demand for new products or more efficient reactor operation, manufacturers prefer to improve the catalyst system in the most cost effective manner. Using polypropylene production as an example, some recent advances in fluidized-bed polymerization technology are presented.
