Abstract
A process for the production of liquid hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process comprises a step a) for generating a synthesis gas, a step b) for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, a step c) for condensing the gaseous effluent obtained during step b), a step d) for separating the effluent condensed during step c) to obtain a gaseous effluent enriched in carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and a step e) for recycling at least a portion of the enriched gaseous effluent obtained during step d) to the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis step b), characterized in that:
