|  | High Pressure Tubular
ExxonMobil Chemical's high pressure tubular process has been proven in the
field for the long-term. Utilizing ExxonMobil's world-scale tubular reactors
enables you to produce polyethylene at a low total cost, even below
state-of-the-art gas-phase reactors. Using ExxonMobil's high pressure tubular
technology, you can produce:
-
Homopolymer LDPE (low density polyethylene) with density levels that range
from 0.915 to 0.935
-
EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) copolymers up to 20 wt %
Compared to competition, the key advantages of ExxonMobil's high pressure
tubular technology are:
-
Very high clarity grades
-
Extremely broad density window
-
Expanded grade slate for a variety of applications
-
Advanced product tailoring capabilities
-
Broad range of line capacities up to 300-400 kta
-
Low reactor decomposition frequency, averaging one every five years
-
Higher operating factor than other LDPE technologies
-
Lower operating cost versus autoclave technology because of higher conversion
in the tubular reactor
With either high pressure tubular or high pressure autoclave technology, you
can expect outstanding safety (by design and in operations); process
flexibility and capacity; and product quality.
