Pressure synthesis is conducted under such conditions that the CO: H₂ ratio in the converter remains constant. A synthesis gas is added, the CO: H₂ ratio of which agrees with that of the end gas. By this means a high yield of liquid hydrocarbons is obtained with a simultaneous reduction in the formation of C0₂ and CH₄.
