A pilot-scale Fischer-Tropsch process was modeled and the optimization was conducted for different objectives, by considering maximal productivity of hydrocarbon products, maximal productivity of middle distillate, low CO2 emission, and high energy efficiency. The comparison clearly shows that the plant can be operated in a flexible manner.
