Detailed instructions are presented with flowsheets for the separation of the reaction products obtained in the hydrogenation of CO at elevated temperature. A combination of steps is employed in which the synthesis reaction product is condensed and separated into oil and H₂O product and uncondensed gas phases, which are subsequently treated in a series or interrelated steps by which the separation between oxygenated organic compounds and hydrocarbons is obtained.
