Abstract (en)

The present invention pertains to a process for processing Fischer-Tropsch off-gas which comprises the steps of: a) subjecting a Fischer-Tropsch off-gas to an expansion step in an expander unit to a temperature and pressure which is such that the gas is below it condensation point, resulting in the formation of liquid condensate; b) removing the liquid condensate from the expander; c) removing the gaseous effluent from the expander. A number of integrated processes are also described and claimed.
