Abstract
The conversion of less than 1 H.sub.2 /CO ratio syngas to high yield of C.sub.3 plus product is accomplished with a CO reducing catalyst comprising shift characteristics and the product of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is converted to premium gasoline and distillate fuels by contact with acidic ZSM-5 zeolite. The syngas conversion may be accomplished in any catalyst system permitting a very close temperature control on the exotherm encountered and the gasoline-distillate yield relationship may be varied as a function of temperature and pressure.
