Indiana Center for Coal Technology Research 14 CCTR FT PROCESS BASICS The original FischerTropsch process is described by the following chemical equation: (2n+1)H 2 + nCO →CnH (2n+2) + nH 2O The initial FT reactants in the above reaction ( CO H 2) can be produced by other reactions such as the partial combustion of a hydrocarbon or by the
