Summary:A method for restarting a synthesis gas conversion process is provided. The process comprises flowing synthesis gas into a microchannel reactor in contact with a synthesis gas conversion catalyst at a desired reaction temperature and pressure to produce a synthesis gas conversion product and flowing effluent comprising the gas conversion product out of the reactor. The method comprises stopping the flow of synthesis gas into the reactor and the flow of effluent out of the reactor for a period of time of up to 48 hours or from 0.1 hours to 48 hours; flowing nitrogen gas into the reactor to purge the reactor and restarting the flow of effluent out of the reactor; and restarting the flow of the synthesis gas into the reactor. La présente invention concerne un procédé de redémarrage d'un procédé de conversion de gaz de synthèse qui s'est arrêté. Le procédé de conversion de gaz de synthèse peut être mené dans un réacteur classique ou dans un réacteur à microcanaux. Le procédé de conversion de gaz de synthèse peut comprendre un procédé pour la conversion d'un gaz de synthèse en méthane, méthanol ou diméthyléther. Le procédé de conversion de gaz de synthèse peut être un procédé de Fischer-Tropsch.
