Abstract
A polymerization reactant injection system having a monomer conduit, a co-catalyst conduit, and a catalyst conduit, in fluid communication with each other such that a polymerization reactant mixture may be formed without mechanical mixers or agitators. The polymerization reactant injection systems of the present invention permit large amounts of polymerization reactant mixtures to be formed without the increased costs associated with additional mechanical equipment. Methods for forming polymerization reactant mixtures are also disclosed.
Claims24
A polymerization reactant injection system comprising:
- at least one monomer conduit for transporting at least one monomer at a first fluid parameter;
- at least one catalyst conduit for transporting at least one catalyst at a second fluid parameter, the at least one catalyst conduit being in fluid communication with the at least one monomer conduit;
- and
- at least one polymerization reactant mixture conduit, wherein the at least one monomer is combined with the at least one catalyst to form a polymerization reactant mixture within the at least one polymerization reactant mixture conduit;
- wherein the first fluid parameter and the second fluid parameter create a fluid parameter differential.
