Abstract

In a gas phase olefin polymerization process using a fluidized bed vessel, an apparatus is employed having a device for measuring temperature or temperature distribution on the external wall surface of the vessel and a controlling means which predicts the progressive state of reaction inside the vessel, calculates the difference between the measured value and a target value determined beforehand an modifies polymerization conditions.
