Abstract

A gas-phase polymerization reactor for the gas-phase polymerization of olefins including a polymerization zone having a recycle line for (a) withdrawing reaction gas from the reactor, (b) leading the reaction gas through a heat-exchanger for cooling, and (c) feeding the reaction gas back to the reactor, wherein the recycle line has the heat-exchanger, a centrifugal compressor having variable guide vanes, and a butterfly valve, and a related process for preparing an olefin polymer in the gas-phase polymerization reactor.
