A hydrocarbon recovery system is integrated with a fluff transfer system. The hydrocarbon recovery system is configured for contacting a wet polymer fluff with a purge gas to provide a purged polymer fluff and an overhead stream, and separating a solids stream, a recovered hydrocarbon stream, and a recovered purge gas from the overhead stream. The polymer fluff transfer system is configured to receive the purged polymer fluff from the hydrocarbon recovery system and transport the purged polymer fluff in the fluff transfer system via circulation of a fluff transfer gas. The hydrocarbon recovery system and the fluff transfer system are integrated by utilizing at least a portion of the recovered purge gas from the hydrocarbon recovery system in the fluff transfer system as the fluff transfer gas and optionally utilizing fluff transfer gas from the fluff transfer system as the purge gas in the hydrocarbon recovery system.

Emission free fluff transfer system and integrated nitrogen cycle

Disclosed are systems and processes for distributing reactor coolant flow to the cooling jackets of a loop slurry reactor, where the reactor coolant is used to control the temperature of the loop slurry reactor in olefin polymerization. Also disclosed are systems and processes for controlling the temperature of the reactor coolant that is used for cooling olefin polymerization reactors, which can be used in combination with traditional coolant distribution regimes and in combination with the coolant distribution systems and processes that are disclosed herein.

Loop slurry reactor cooling processes and systems

Processes and reaction systems for olefin metathesis by reactive distillation, utilizing liquid phase metathesis of reactant olefins in the presence of a homogeneous metathesis catalyst system, where the light metathesis product is produced and leaves the liquid phase as vapor phase and the heavy metathesis product is produced in liquid phase. Separation can be performed on the light metathesis product and a distinct other separation can be performed on the heavy metathesis product.

A hydrocarbon recovery system is integrated with a fluff transfer system. The hydrocarbon recovery system is configured for contacting a wet polymer fluff with a purge gas to provide a purged polymer fluff and an overhead stream, and separating a solids stream, a recovered hydrocarbon stream, and a recovered purge gas from the overhead stream. The polymer fluff transfer system is configured to receive the purged polymer fluff from the hydrocarbon recovery system and transport the purged polymer fluff in the fluff transfer system via circulation of a fluff transfer gas. The hydrocarbon recovery system and the fluff transfer system are integrated by utilizing fluff transfer gas from the fluff transfer system as the purge gas in the hydrocarbon recovery system and/or by utilizing at least a portion of the recovered purge gas from the hydrocarbon recovery system in the fluff transfer system as the fluff transfer gas.

Metathesis of olefins in a loop reactor having liquid reaction medium circulated therein that contains reactant olefins and homogeneous metathesis catalyst system in liquid phase. Recovery of product olefin(s) occurs after removing a liquid reactor effluent from the loop reactor, and unreacted reactant olefin(s) recovered from the liquid reactor effluent can be recycled to the loop reactor.

Olefin metathesis in a loop reactor

A system including a hydrocarbon recovery system integrated with a fluff transfer system, the hydrocarbon recovery system comprising a purge column, a separator, a purge gas-hydrocarbon recovery unit, and a waste gas outlet line, and the fluff transfer system comprising a fluff transfer blower, and an extruder feed tank fluidly connected with the fluff transfer blower via a fluff transfer blower outlet line and fluidly connected with the purge column. The hydrocarbon recovery system can be integrated with the fluff transfer system via a purge column fluff transfer gas inlet line fluidly connecting a purge gas inlet of the purge column with the fluff transfer blower outlet line, such that a portion of the fluff transfer gas in the fluff transfer blower outlet line is introduced into the purge column as purge gas. Make-up gas to the fluff transfer system can come from the hydrocarbon recovery system.
