Zusammenfassung:METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REACTOR LOW PRODUCT VARIATION A carbon-to-liquids system (200) is provided. The system includes a source of syngas (202), a vessel (204) configured to shift the syngas to increase a hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio (H2/CO) of the syngas, the vessel coupled in flow communication with the source of syngas, and a source of hydrogen gas (210) coupled in flow communication with the shifted syngas, the source of hydrogen configured to be mixed with the shifted syngas to increase the H2/CO ratio of the shifted syngas. The system further includes a vessel (216) configured to receive the hydrogen gas and shifted syngas mixture (214), the vessel including a catalyst configured to facilitate a Fischer Tropsch synthesis reaction, and a hydrogen recovery filter (228) coupled in flow communication with the vessel and configured to extract hydrogen from an un-reacted hydrogen/shifted syngas mixture to produce a hydrogen-lean syngas (230). The extracted hydrogen is injected into the shifted syngas to increase the H2 /CO ratio of the shifted syngas.
