Abstract

Process for the polymerization of monomer in a polymerization system having at least one component attached thereto which is flushed with a flush medium which enters the polymerization system. Initially, the component is flushed with a first flush medium, and subsequently the component is flushed with a second flush medium which differs in composition from the first flush medium. A flush gas containing monomer is used as the flush medium when the polymer production rate is above 10 Te/h.
