Abstract
The product effluent of a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is subjected to cooling sufficient to separate a high boiling product fraction boiling above about 400.degree. F from lower boiling product effluent material and comprising water product with formed oxygenates. The total lower boiling product effluent thus obtained is passed in contact with a special class of selective crystalline zeolite catalyst maintained under conditions to improve upon the hydrocarbon products contacted and convert oxygenates for hydrocarbons.
