Patent ID: 6992113

Claim:
A process for the conversion of syngas using a Fischer-Tropsch reactor, the process comprising: a) forming a first syngas; b) reacting at least a portion of the first syngas containing at least about 2 vol % CO 2 in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor to form a first hydrocarbonaceous product and a second syngas comprising at least about 2 vol % CO 2 ; c) mixing the second syngas with a hydrogen-containing stream to provide an adjusted syngas having a molar ratio of H 2 :(CO+CO 2 ) of at least about 1.0; and d) reacting at least a portion of the adjusted syngas in a dual functional syngas conversion reactor to form a second hydrocarbonaceous product and a third syngas comprising a reduced amount of CO 2 than was present in the adjusted syngas.
