Claim Text:
1. A system, comprising: a flashline heater comprising an upstream end coupled to a polymerization reactor via a continuous take off device and a discharge end coupled to a separation vessel; a discharged stream within the flashline heater and received from the polymerization reactor via the continuous take off device, wherein the discharged stream comprises a vapor part generated from a liquid part and a solid part in thermal equilibrium with the vapor part at the discharge end of the flashline heater, wherein the vapor part in thermal equilibrium with the solid part is formed by a process comprising: a controller operatively coupled to the continuous take off device and a heat source configured to heat the discharged stream in the flashline heater, wherein the controller is configured to control the transit time of the discharged stream in the flashline heater by adjusting at least a flow rate of the discharged stream through the continuous take off device in relation to an amount of the heat source directed to the flashline heater, such that the transit time is at least approximately 8 seconds.
