Abstract: Methods for converting of syngas to higher molecular weight products using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and methods for optimizing the catalyst systems in the synthesis, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the methods use cobalt/ruthenium Fischer-Tropsch catalysts in combination with an olefin isomerization catalyst, which isomerizes double bonds in C4+ olefins as they are formed.

A benefit of using the relatively less acidic zeolites is that the ratio of iso-paraffins to aromatics is increased relative to when more acidic zeolites are used. Also, the relatively less acidic zeolites do not coke as readily as the relatively more acidic zeolites.
