Abstract
Process for the production of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas which comprises: a) feeding to the bottom of a reactor for Fischer-Tropsch reactions a synthesis gas with molar ratios H.sub.2 /CO ranging from 1 to 3; PA1 b) discharging from the head of the reactor a hydrocarbon liquid phase containing the catalyst, in suspension; PA1 c) feeding the suspension to at least a first hydrocyclone to obtain a partially separated product containing from 0.5 to 15% by volume of solid particles; PA1 d) feeding the partially separated product to at least a second hydrocyclone to obtain a stream of liquid substantially without solid particles.
