The present invention relates to a method for optimising catalyst supply to a polymerisationnreactor (1), comprising the steps of a) preparing catalyst slurry in a vessel (3), said slurryncomprising solid catalyst in a hydrocarbon diluent having a suitable concentration for use in anpolymerisation reaction, b) providing said catalyst slurry from said vessel (3) to a buffernvessel (4) wherein said slurry is stored, and c) supplying said catalyst slurry from said buffernvessel (4) to said reactor (1) through conduits (8) at a suitable flow rate. |
