ABSTRACT:
A process of converting a loop reactor into multiple loop reactors comprising starting with a loop reactor comprising at least 8 vertical legs, at least two non-vertical conversion runs, each non-vertical run connected in fluid flow communication with two vertical legs; at least two feed inlets; and at least two continuous discharge conduits; disconnecting at least one connection of each conversion run; and reconnecting each conversion run in fluid flow communication with a different vertical leg in such a manner to form multiple loop reactors each having at least one feed inlet and at least one continuous discharge conduit.
