Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to a self cleaning reactor and to a process for the oligomerization of ethylene that employs a self-cleaning reactor. The reactor includes a mass of inert, particulate cleaning bodies that are entrained by the liquid in the reactor and scour the internal surfaces of the reactor during normal operation. This scouring action reduces the level of fouling on the reactor surfaces.Foulant material (polyethylene) is removed from the process on a continuous basis but the cleaning bodies remain within the reactor.
