Simulation of Slurry phase HDPE reactor

High density polyethylene is produced by polymerizing ethylene (HDPE) and in cases co-polymerizing with propylene and 1-butene to achieve the desired density and properties. Hydrogen is also used to control average molecular weight of the polymer. One industrial process for producing HDPE is slurry phase reactor. Hexane is used as…
