Claim 9:
10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a second loop reactor interconnected with the loop reactor, the second loop reactor including:
a second fluid moving device having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet of the second fluid moving device in fluid communication with an outlet of a second substantially vertical downflow zone;
a second loop section including an outlet and an inlet, the inlet of the second loop section in fluid communication with the outlet of the second fluid moving device;
a second substantially vertical upflow zone including an outlet and an inlet, the inlet of the second substantially vertical upflow zone in fluid communication with the outlet of the second loop section; and
a second gas/liquid separation vessel having a longitudinal axis and including:
an outlet and an inlet, the inlet of the second gas/liquid separation vessel located in a lower portion of the second gas/liquid separation vessel and in fluid communication with the outlet of the second substantially vertical upflow zone, the outlet of the second gas/liquid separation vessel in fluid communication with an inlet of the second substantially vertical downflow zone;
an intermediate section between the outlet and the inlet of the second gas/liquid separation vessel, the intermediate section having a constant diameter equal to D;
an outlet side section on one side of the intermediate section, the outlet side section including the outlet of the second gas/liquid separation vessel; and
an inlet side section on a side of the intermediate section opposite the outlet side section, the inlet side section including the inlet of the second gas/liquid separation vessel, a lowermost edge of each of the inlet, the outlet, the intermediate section, the outlet side section and the inlet side section of the second gas/liquid separation vessel contact a common plane.
