Popis:	Continuous loop reactors are potential candidates for replacing stirred tanks in the free-radical polymer industry. Loop reactors present attractive advantages such as improved mixing and heat transfer capabilities and their macroscopic behavior is very close to the continuous stirred tanks. In this contribution, operability and stability issues associated to this equipment are studied. Simulation results are presented for the free-radical solution polymerization of vinyl acetate. It is shown that safe and stable reactor operation is strongly dependent on the proper choice of the process parameters.
