Had to go through way too many videos to find this. They explain everything up to this step, and then just say it's refined into plastic pellets without elaborating at all. Thank you for explaining this so well!
Awesome video! I went to school for process technology and while waiting for my opportunity to start my career, I decided to learn some processes on my own. This is a great tool to understand the concept. Thanks for posting!
Great video I have 2 dounts Is this process is same for all the types of pellets produced in industry ? What is the reference material to know different polymer production process
This is only one type of gas phase polymerization technology for one type of polymer (polypropylene). Therefore, there are many polypropylene production processes that include but not limited to “ Novolen®, Unipol® (gas-phase processes), Borstar® and Spheripol® (liquid-phase processes).” For other polymers (and there are many, believe me!) there are multiple different technologies for each. These technologies differ in the investment/capital cost, operation cost and different grades produced within a polymer Grades portfolio. The reason for these different technologies for different polymers is companies usually, through IP laws, protect their technologies and only allow non-competitor companies in a market where a technology owner company sell/operate in, to use their technology by a practice called “technology licensing-out”. So another competitive company, after a series of economical, legal, marketing, and technical studies, invest in R&D to develop another technology to produce a same or a better product of a polymer. Btw, this’s the tip of the iceberg, because there are also within these technologies different catalysis systems or initiators that produce different grades, different polymer processing technologies (i.e. extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, and rotational molding technologies). I apologize for my bad English because I am not a native English speaker. Thank you OP and greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦.
@@inorite4553 Good for you, but the title is “how polymerization works...” so they generalized polypropylene gas phase process (i.e. Novolen process) on all polymer manufacturing processes. That’s why I wrote my comment I am tired of people not familiar with the industry telling about polymer manufacturing and how harmful is it.
@@mycosys nothing is black and white. It’s a good concept but needs limitations on what inventors/owners can claim in their IPs. They think they are circumventing legal loopholes by claiming everything from catalysts, reagents, and the whole processes (i.e. from raw material and until granular resin and wastes), which I am fine with until this point, but to claim products’ properties! This is a bit too much, if you ask me. Note/ I am far from being a legal expert in IP laws, I’m just voicing my concerns only when it comes to polymer manufacturing. Other than that I am novice in IP laws.
Wow, for the looks of it it seems like it takes a lot of energy to make plastic. Though given that is a byproduct of oil that part is (sort of) compensated.
Hello it's fantastic presentation. In my country we got all raw material necessary. But there isn't company for polypropylene. Me I want to create with partnership.
Conversation to have in a HS chemistry class to understand relevance: TEACHER - "So what is being made here?" STUDENTS - "Plastic" TEACHER - "Nope. Money. Money is being made here. Now are you interested?"
This is great. May I know what is the chemical reaction happening in this polymerization? Probably chemical equation that shows how it converts from propylene to PP using this technology?
Ethane from natural gas Ethane can be converted to ethene (via dehydrogenation reaction) Ethene can be polymerized into ethylene, PP or anything you want. Here’s a good video that relates directly with your question: ua-cam.com/video/C7EwPX7312k/v-deo.html
Adding water makes the powder a liquid substance. (like adding water to pancake mix so it can flow). This reduces the friction of the substance through all of the moving parts.

This video is great! Very nice visual and the speaker speaks at a good pace :D Easy to follow.... for nerds.
Thank you for this video. Most videos on plastic production I found are for kids and skip over the entire polymer polymerization process
This video is as good as it needs to be. Super useful and concise.
I agree. Great job explaining the process and the narrator spoke with clarity.
Great video clarified the process of polymerization. Thx.
This is a great video. Please keep up the outstanding work.
Great work man, thanks for sharing i worked in an EQUATE polytechnic plant it's very clear.
Thank you very much Tasneeع a Company located in Saudi Arabia. Very informative video and good presenter.
Great work on this video! Visuals are amazing!
It was really great thank you Drexel
Great video! I've always wondered what the industrial polymerization process is AKA how natural gas be turned into plastic like this.
Best video on the subject I've seen!
Great video
I have 2 dounts
Is this process is same for all the types of pellets produced in industry ?
What is the reference material to know different polymer production process
gas to plastic...amazing...wonderful explanation...thank you very much
Great video sir, please keep making more process videos, your explanation share great light 💡 in the field 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great explanation. Thank you.
Wow! This video was super interesting! Thanks alot!
Sweet video dude. Thank you. Just what I was looking for.
Interesting, the reactor I run uses Isopentane vapor for coolant and has a massive fluidized bed.
Nice work!
Very important for me and my students🙏
It's nice video; however, are you sure that you can feed water in mixing process with polymer powder and additives?
Very clear Nd quick . Thank yu
great elaboration
at 2:20, how did the liquid (gas?) suddenly turn into powder?
fantastic

Don't care. I only need to know how Polypropylene is made. LOL

IP needs to cease to exist for the good of humanity

؟؟؟
Which PP process technology has been explained here?
what is the purpose of water injected with additive and polymer powder when they go into the extruder?

anyone know how for me to learn designing the purge vessel.. never hear about that equipment
THANK YOU
Cool 👌
Hello..can i know..how can we make this kind of video?
would be even better if the voice volume did not fluctuate
wow, that really far complicated than I thought
excelent comments!
Great.
👌👌
Cant say if its more toxic or complicated.
Pretty dead on Considering I work in a poly propylene unit
That's weird that this is one of the cheapest substances in the world although this is what it goes through
If only a real scientist spoke it aloud..
