This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polypropylene (PP) homopolymer production from polymer grade (PG) propylene using a hybrid (slurry/gas phase) process. The process examined is similar to Borealis BORSTAR process. This process is based on a dual reactor system (slurry and gas phase reactors) to produce PP homopolymer. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6339136, issued to Borealis in 2002 (2) US Patent 6559348, issued to Borealis in 2003 Keywords: PG Propylene, Propene, Dual Reactor System, Slurry Reactor, Tubular Reactor, Loop Reactor
