Process for producing a hydrocarbon product flow from a gaseous hydrocarbonaceous feed flow , the process comprising the following steps: - introducing the feed flow in a synthesis gas generation unit to form a synthesis gas flow by reforming and/or partial oxidation of the feed flow ; - introducing the synthesis gas flow in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit , to form the hydrocarbon product flow ; - forming a Fischer Tropsch offgas flow from the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit ; - separating the Fischer Tropsch offgas flow into a Fischer Tropsch offgas recycle flow and a Fischer Tropsch tail gas flow ; - recycling the Fischer Tropsch offgas recycle flow in the synthesis gas flow fed to the Fischer Tropsch synthesis unit ; - at least partially removing carbon dioxide from a first flow formed from the Fischer-Tropsch tail gas flow in a carbon dioxide removal unit to form a carbon dioxide depleted flow ; - forming a tail gas recycle flow from the carbon dioxide depleted flow ; - introducing the tail gas recycle flow in the synthesis gas generation unit or in the synthesis gas generation unit and in the synthesis gas flow , wherein the process comprises : - forming a bypass flow from the tail gas flow to bypass the carbon dioxide removal unit ; - mixing the carbon dioxide depleted flow with the bypass flow to form the tail gas recycle flow ; - adjusting the carbon dioxide content in the tail gas recycle flow to control the hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratio in the synthesis gas flow to a target hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratio, the adjustment of the carbon dioxide content including controlling the relative flowrates of the bypass flow and of the carbon dioxide depleted flow as a function of the target hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio in the synthesis gas. - introducing the feed flow in a synthesis gas generation unit to form a synthesis gas flow by reforming and/or partial oxidation of the feed flow ; - introducing the synthesis gas flow in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit , to form the hydrocarbon product flow ; - forming a Fischer Tropsch offgas flow from the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit ; - separating the Fischer Tropsch offgas flow into a Fischer Tropsch offgas recycle flow and a Fischer Tropsch tail gas flow ; - recycling the Fischer Tropsch offgas recycle flow in the synthesis gas flow fed to the Fischer Tropsch synthesis unit ; - at least partially removing carbon dioxide from a first flow formed from the Fischer-Tropsch tail gas flow in a carbon dioxide removal unit to form a carbon dioxide depleted flow ; - forming a tail gas recycle flow from the carbon dioxide depleted flow ; - introducing the tail gas recycle flow in the synthesis gas generation unit or in the synthesis gas generation unit and in the synthesis gas flow , - forming a bypass flow from the tail gas flow to bypass the carbon dioxide removal unit ; - mixing the carbon dioxide depleted flow with the bypass flow to form the tail gas recycle flow ; - adjusting the carbon dioxide content in the tail gas recycle flow to control the hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratio in the synthesis gas flow to a target hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratio, the adjustment of the carbon dioxide content including controlling the relative flowrates of the bypass flow and of the carbon dioxide depleted flow as a function of the target hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio in the synthesis gas. <EOS>
