(6) Brabag.
The entire research and commercial installations of this company connected with FT work are located at Ruhland-Schwarzheide and were not available to the members of this investigating team. No first-hand information regarding their development was obtained.
It is however known that Brabag had developed Fe catalysts. The catalysts are of the precipitated carrier type. Watergas was used and consumed in the ideal ratio. With this gas a three month catalyst life was obtained. The catalyst had to undergo “forming” which required 3-4 days with a space velocity of 10 V/H/V.
