Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an apparatus for gas phase polymerisation of olefins(s), essentially comprising a fluidized bed reactor and at least one conduit for drawing off polymer provided with an isolation valve and connecting the vertical side wall of the reactor to a lock hopper, the said conduit leaving the vertical side wall of the reactor while being directed downwards so that each part of the said conduit forms with a horizontal plane an angle A ranging from 35.degree. to 90.degree.. It also relates to a process for continuous gas-phase polymerisation of olefin(s) in a fluidized-bed reactor, comprising drawing off the polymer from the vertical side wall of the reactor into a lock hopper via a draw-off conduit so that all flow of the polymer in the draw-off conduit is produced according to a downward direction forming with a horizontal plane an inclination with an angle A at least equal to the angle of repose .beta. of the polymer and not exceeding 90.degree.. The present invention improves the degree of filling of the lock hopper and reduces the amount of gas drawn off with the polymer. (FIG. 1).
