Abstract:
1. A method of performing a synthesis gas conversion reaction, the method comprising contacting a hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalyst extrudate comprising: a ruthenium loaded metal oxide support and an acidic component in a binder matrix wherein the hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalyst extrudate contains from about 1.5 to about 15 weight percent ruthenium based on the weight of the extrudate with a synthesis gas having a H 2 to CO ratio of 0.5 to 3.0 at a reaction temperature of 160° C. to 300° C., a total pressure of 3 to 35 atmospheres, and an hourly space velocity of 5 to 10,000 v/v/hour, wherein products of the synthesis gas conversion reaction comprise 1-15 weight % CH 4 ; 1-15 weight % C 2 -C 4 ; 70-95 weight % C 5+ ; 0-5 weight % C 21+ normal paraffins; and 0-10 weight % aromatic hydrocarbons.
