Abstract
An apparatus and method for producing ethylene polymer are provided which employ a conduit in the form of a closed loop (i.e. loop reactor) for receiving a flow of a monomer which includes ethylene, a polymerization catalyst and a diluent therethrough for the polymerization of the monomer to ethylene polymer. The conduit comprises at least one pipe constructed of rolled plate around which coolant fluid passes in heat exchange relationship.
