Embodiment 1

[0094] Production of continuous polymerization products including nylon 6,6. The continuous polymerization product flows through the primary manifold at a temperature of 265-300° C. and a pressure of 10-31 MPa. The primary manifold is in fluid communication with the two secondary manifolds through two primary manifold valves. Each primary manifold valve was opened to allow a portion of liquid polymer to flow through each secondary manifold at a temperature of 265-300°C and a pressure of 10-31 MPa. Each secondary manifold is in fluid communication with a different additive injection line. Each additive injection line is in fluid communication with an additive source. To prepare the nylon 6,6 polymer containing the additive, the additive is introduced from the additive storage tank into the additive injection line. The pressure of the additive in the additive injection line is set at least to the pressure in the liquid polymer flowing through the secondary manifold. The temp...

Embodiment 2

[0097]Production of the continuous polymerization product and addition of additives was carried out as in Example 1. The primary manifold is in contact with three secondary manifolds, each connected to a different additive injection line. The solidifier in contact with the primary manifold becomes clogged, resulting in no final polymer product being obtained from the solidifier. A first additive comprising a matting agent is injected into the first secondary manifold through the first additive injection line and combines with the liquid polymer to form a polymer product. A second additive comprising glass fibers is injected into the second secondary manifold through the second additive injection line and combines with the liquid polymer to form a polymer product. The additive injection valve connecting the third additive injection line to the third secondary manifold was closed. Each product communicates with a polymer solidifier in contact with its respective secondary mani...

Embodiment 3

[0099] Production of the continuous polymerization product and addition of additives was carried out as in Example 1. The primary manifold is in contact with three secondary manifolds, each connected to a different additive injection line. A first additive comprising 20 meq / kg of amine ends was injected into the first secondary manifold through the first additive injection line and combined with the liquid polymer to form a polymer product. A second additive comprising 40 meq / kg of amine ends was injected into the second secondary manifold through the second additive injection line and combined with the liquid polymer to form the polymer product. A third additive comprising 60 meq / kg of amine ends was injected into the third secondary manifold through the third additive injection line and combined with the liquid polymer to form the polymer product. Each product communicates with a polymer solidifier in contact with its respective secondary manifold to produce the final polym...

Abstract

Disclosed are retrofit processes for retrofitting a polymer production apparatus to produce a plurality of polymer products. The retrofit process may comprise modifying an existing primary manifold to include a retrofit manifold and at least one additive injection apparatus. The retrofit process may also comprise modifying an existing secondary manifold to include an additive injection line and a polymer solidifier in contact with the secondary manifold. The retrofitted polymer production apparatus produces varied finished polymer products from one continuous polymerization reactor.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 61 / 818239, filed May 1, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the retrofitting of existing polymer production plants to produce multiple products from a continuous polymerization plant. In particular, the present invention relates to the retrofitting of existing polymer production plants to produce multiple polymer products by injecting different additives into different fractions of the liquid polymer using an additive injection device. Background technique [0004] Various polymers known in the art are used to produce shaped articles such as films, filament tubes, ribbons and similar shapes. Polymers, often produced as solid sheets, are melted and extruded to form such articles. Polyamides are an important class of polymers used in textiles, clothing, packaging,...
