A method of accommodating a reduction in production capacity of one or
more reactors in a multi-reactor assembly adapted for the production of
hydrocarbon products from syngas, the syngas being provided by a syngas
manufacturing facility and provided to an entry stream system providing
syngas to each of the reactors, and having an exit stream system taking
at least hydrocarbon products from the reactors, wherein the method
comprises the steps of: redistributing the syngas from the one or more
said reactors to one or more other reactors, and increasing the
temperature in the said one or more other reactors to at least partially
take over the reduction in production capacity of the one or more
reactors.
