 1995.    KROUPA, G.  [Profitableness of Obtaining Oil From Water Gas.]  Petrol. Ztschr., vol. 23, 1927, pp. 1524-1525; Chem. Abs., vol. 22, 1928, p. 1464.

        Synthetic production of oil from water gas is uneconomical at the present time as compared with the hydrogenation of coal, and even though the process proves to produce the greatest yield of products, the cost of production will remain prohibitive.  The water-gas process is slow and uneconomical because of the several additional steps that must be introduced including distillation, gasification, chemical gas purification, and the synthetic operation.
