FIELD: hydrocarbon manufacturing.
SUBSTANCE: natural gas is brought into reaction with vapor and oxygen-containing gas in at least one reforming zone to produce syngas mainly containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide and some amount of carbon dioxide. Said gas is fed in Fisher-Tropsh synthesis reactor to obtain crude synthesis stream containing low hydrocarbons, high hydrocarbons, water, and unconverted syngas. Then said crude synthesis stream is separated in drawing zone onto crude product stream containing as main component high hydrocarbons, water stream, and exhaust gas stream, comprising mainly remained components. Further at least part of exhaust gas stream is vapor reformed in separated vapor reforming apparatus, and reformed exhaust gas is charged into gas stream before its introducing in Fisher-Tropsh synthesis reactor.
EFFECT: increased hydrocarbon yield with slight releasing of carbon dioxide.
