1837.  ------. [KEMP, L. C.] (The Texas Co.). Method of Manufacturing Motor Fuel. United States Patent 2,461,064, Feb. 8, 1949; appl. filed Oct. 20, 1945, Serial No. 623,475, 6 claims (Cl. 260-449.6). Chem. Abs. vol. 43, 1949, p. 3174.

Hydrogenation of CO is used in conjunction with a fluidized system of catalytic cracking. A portion of the catalyst is continuously regenerated with stripping of the adsorbed hydrocarbons before regeneration. Effluent gases from the Fischer-Tropsch reactor are used in stripping. In cracking the products of the hydrocarbon synthesis are deoxygenated. The olefins so formed then undergo a double-bond shift type of isomerization. The hydrogenation may be in conjunction with hydroforming and the resulting H₂ used to supplement the synthesis gas. 9 United States patents cited.
