Low-density polyethylene simulated production in high pressure tubular reactor

The importance of the LDPE polymerization process has spawned a slew of LDPE tubular reactor modelling and simulation projects. Through adjusting input parameters, the sensitivity study of input parameters in an industrial low density polyethylene tube reactor was addressed in this paper. This work&...

The importance of the LDPE polymerization process has spawned a slew of LDPE tubular reactor modelling and simulation projects. Through adjusting input parameters, the sensitivity study of input parameters in an industrial low density polyethylene tube reactor was addressed in this paper. This work's innovation was highlighted with the incorporation of the LDPE melt flow index in the reactor output. The highest temperature peak and monomer conversion were obtained when initiator concentration were increased by 1.06 factor, whereas the highest melt flow index was obtained when the inlet temperature was increased by 1.07 factor. The monomer flow rate, initiator flow rate, and solvent flow rate all had a substantial impact on the LDPE process performance in a tubular reactor. © 2023
