Gas-to-liquid synfuel production can produce diesel, naptha and paraffin. the formation of these products usually involves the fischer-tropsch process the removal of carbon atoms from the fuel adding highly acidic substances such as hydrochloric acid the production of radioactive waste that must be stored in protective barrels

The formation of these products usually involves THE FISCHER-TROPSCH PROCESS.

The Fischer-Tropsch process refers to a series of chemical reactions which convert hydrogen and carbon monoxide into liquid hydrocarbons in the presence of metal catalysts. The temperature utilized in the process is normally between 150 and 300 degree Celsius. The techniques was developed by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in 1925. The technique is usually used to turn coal into liquid and to turn gases to liquid fuels.
