Abstract:
1. A multi-stage process for the production of hydrocarbon products from syngas, said process comprising feeding syngas to a multi-stage system comprising 1) a first stage comprising one or more syngas conversion reactors in which syngas is partially converted into hydrocarbon products at conversion conditions each conversion reactor having a syngas entry stream system which system combines two or more entry streams of syngas and which system delivers the combined syngas to the syngas conversion reactor, the syngas entry system combining at least one entry stream of syngas being a syngas stream obtained in a partial oxidation process and having a hydrogen/carbon monoxide (H 2) at least one additional stage, each additional stage comprising one or more syngas conversion reactors in which syngas is partially converted into hydrocarbon products at conversion conditions each conversion reactor having a syngas entry stream system which system combines three or more entry streams of syngas and which system delivers the combined syngas to the syngas conversion reactor(s), the syngas entry system combining an exit stream of syngas from the previous stage, the H
