Founded in 2001, Polymer Alliance is a global platform for developing bulk-material handling concepts across front-end design and engineering, delivery, installation, commissioning, and after-sales services of integrated polymer production and handling systems. Polymer Alliance serves the petrochemical industry—licensors, contractors, and operators of polyolefin production and processing plants—with:

• Powder handling systems

• Additive and powder feeding

• Extrusion, granulation, and drying systems

• Conveying, mixing, storage, granulate cleaning, and degassing systems

• Bulk-material loading, bagging, packaging, storage, and transport

• Logistics concepts

The platform showcases the conceptual ideas born from such collaborations and highlights the benefits for more efficient project execution.

A larger scale in polymer production—driven by increased reactor capacities—creates a need for bigger extruders, silos, mixers, conveying systems, bagging plants, and storage facilities. Technical or economic scale-up limits necessitate developing new approaches for plant design and project execution.

For customers in the polymer industry—whether petrochemical companies operating the plants, licensors planning them, or logistics providers managing the back end—the Polymer Alliance has developed modular concepts composed of the following components:

Powder handling

Additive feeding

Extrusion & granulation

Pellet mixing

Pellet conveying

Silo and bulk-material loading

Bagging & packaging

Storage
