Abstract: The aim of this work is to design a new high pressure gas-molten polymer separator that will recover what remains of waxes in the ethylene gas, which causes a continuous decrease in the heat exchangers of the recirculate gas and so a loss of conversion from ethylene to PE. This recovery could mean an important asset from an economical point of view, as it would increase the productivity of polyethylene.
