CO is reacted with H₂ at raised temperature and under pressure. The gases and vapors issuing from the reaction vessel are dissociated without pressure release in a distillation column. As reflux, a condensate is used, which is separated from the gases and vapors without expansion. Further, a condensate obtained from the gases and vapors leaving the distillation column, together with the uncondensed portions still remaining, is wholly or partly returned to the reaction chamber.
