Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de décharge d'un polymère d'un réacteur en phase gazeuse à activité permanente. Un monomère au moins est polymérisé dans un lit contenant un catalyseur actif formé par des particules catalytiques et polymères suspendues dans un fluide, le lit définissant un niveau de lit fluidisé dans ce réacteur. Ce procédé consiste à retirer en continu une poudre polymère du réacteur et à régler la vitesse de décharge de la poudre polymère de manière à maintenir un niveau de lit constant pendant la polymérisation. La décharge du polymère peut s'effectuer de manière réellement continue sans que la polymérisation ne subisse aucune perturbation. La vitesse du polymère retiré peut être réglée en fonction du stade atteint par la polymérisation et peut aussi être facilement mise à l'échelle si la capacité du réacteur augmente.
