A process which comprises polymerising an olefin monomer in at least one continuous tubular loop reactor of a multiple reactor system, optionally together with an olefin comonomer, in the presence of a polymerisation catalyst in a diluent to produce a slurry comprising solid particulate olefin polymer and diluent, wherein the average internal diameter of at least 50% of the total length of the continuous tubular loop reactor is at least 700mm. |
