    Abstract: A vessel for storing and/or processing polymer particulates includes main outer walls defining an upper end, a lower end, and a main interior space, a frustum-shaped outlet region positioned below the lower end of the main outer walls, a plurality of internal frustum sections positioned within the main outer walls, where a lower portion of each internal frustum section defines a passage extending through each of the plurality of internal frustum sections, an internal member including an internal member wall defining an internal member interior space separated from the main interior space, the internal member positioned within the main outer walls and extending from the upper end to the lower end of the main outer walls, the internal member extending through each passage of the plurality of internal frustum sections, and a purge gas source in communication with the internal member inner space.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of making an olefin-based polymer by free-radical polymerization in a reactor system. The method includes initiating a free-radical polymerization of an olefin-based monomer, propagating growth of the olefin-based polymer during continued free-radical polymerization of the olefin-based monomer, and adding to the reactor system a chain transfer agent that terminates the growth of the olefin-based polymer. The chain transfer agent includes a silane. Examples of suitable silanes are: triethylsilane, diethylmethylsilane, tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, n-butylsilane, dimethylphenylsilane, phenylsilane, chlorodimethylsilane, diisopropylaminosilane, 1,2-bis(dimethylsilyl) benzene, 1,3-bis(dimethylsilyl) benzene, 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene, 1,1, 3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, trimethylsilane, (trimethylsilyl)dimethylsilane, and bis(trimethylsilyl)methylsilane.
