Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the polymerization of an olefin monomer. In particular, the present invention relates to a process for the polymerization of an olefin monomer and one or more optional comonomers in presence of a polymerization catalyst and hydrogen, said process being characterized by an improved control of the hydrogen concentration in the polymerization reactor. In addition, the present invention provides for an improved hydrogen feeding system to a polymerization reactor. Furthermore, the present invention provides for a polymerization reactor comprising such an improved hydrogen feeding system.
