Abstract

The present method is directed to techniques for estimating and periodically controlling the reactor split of alpha-olefin polymerizations using multiple catalysts that selectively incorporate monomers and other reactants into polymer compositions. The method provides for the rapid determination of instantaneous reactor split and cumulative split in polymerization reactors by the use of a novel linear relationship between Incorporation and Reactor Split.
