System and method for deterring fouling in a polymerization reactor

A catalyst composition may include a precontacted mixture of an olefin polymerization catalyst and an agent including an ammonium salt. The catalyst activity of the catalyst composition in the presence of water may be greater than if no ammonium salt were present in the catalyst composition. The ammonium salt may include a tetraalkylammonium salt, and the olefin polymerization catalyst may include a metallocene compound.

Continuous powder catalyst supply apparatus and catalyst supply system

The present invention is to provide a continuous catalyst supply apparatus and a catalyst supply system which can manufacture a polyolefin of uniform quality. A continuous powder catalyst supply apparatus of the present invention comprises a catalyst storage means having a catalyst inlet port formed in an upper portion thereof and a catalyst supply port formed in a bottom surface thereof to supply a catalyst by free fall, a catalyst supply means farmed in the catalyst storage means to substantially continuously supply the catalyst to the catalyst supply port, and a forcible discharge means for forcibly discharging the catalyst, supplied from the catalyst supply means to the catalyst supply port, through the catalyst supply port with a pressurised gas.
