Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrocarbons from a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, in at least two conversion reactors, being the first and second reactor, said reactors comprising catalysts. The reactors can be placed in series or parallel.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for producing hydrocarbons from a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, in at least two conversion reactors, being the first and second reactor, said reactors comprising catalysts, which method comprises the steps of:\n (i) providing a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide to two or more of the conversion reactors; (ii) catalytically converting the gas mixture of step (i) at an initial temperature and an initial pressure to obtain an initial hydrocarbon product stream comprising the normally gaseous, normally liquid and optionally normally solid hydrocarbons from each conversion reactor; (iii) obtaining from each of the at least two reactors, an initial hydrocarbon stream and an off-gas; (iv) determining the concentration of hydrocarbons in each of the initial hydrocarbon streams obtained in step (iii) of at least one of the following hydrocarbon groups:\n hydrocarbons having a chain length of 1 to 4 carbon atoms (C1-4 fraction); \n hydrocarbons having a chain length of 5 to 30 carbon atoms (C5-C30 fraction); and \n hydrocarbons having a chain length of at least 31 carbon atoms (C31+ fraction); \n (v) based on the concentration of one or more of said groups, raising or lowering the reaction temperature of at least one of the reactors; (vi) obtaining a second hydrocarbon stream from each of the reactors; wherein the concentration of the C5-C30 fraction of the combined second hydrocarbon streams is at least 3%, and preferably at least 5% higher than the concentration of C5-C30 fraction of the combined initial hydrocarbon stream; or wherein the concentration of the C31+ fraction of the combined second hydrocarbon streams is at least 3% and preferably at least 5% higher than the concentration of the C31+ fraction of the combined initial hydrocarbon streams.
