Abstract

A process for polymerizing olefins at temperatures of from 30° C. to 140° C. and pressures of from 1.0 MPa to 10 MPa in the presence of a polymerization catalyst in a multistage polymerization of olefins in at least two serially connected gas-phase polymerization reactors, and apparatus for the multistage polymerization of olefins, comprising at least two serially connected gas-phase polymerization reactors and a device for transferring polyolefin particles from an up-stream gas-phase polymerization reactor to a downstream gas-phase polymerization reactor, the transferring device comprising—a gas/solid separation chamber placed downstream of the upstream gas-phase polymerization which gas/solid separation chamber is equipped at a lower part with an net for introducing a fluid, and—connected to the gas/solid separation chamber at least two lock hoppers, placed in a parallel arrangement, each connected to the downstream gas-phase polymerization reactor.
