The process for producing a predetermined C<SUB>X</SUB>H<SUB>Y</SUB>O<SUB>Z </SUB>product from a primary feedstock containing hydrocarbons and a secondary feedstock is disclosed, wherein X, Y and Z are integers. The process includes the steps of: providing primary feedstock;, indirectly heating it generally in the absence of oxygen.; cleaning the gas stream produced therefrom by removing CO<SUB>2 </SUB>and solids; determining the amount of CO and H<SUB>2 </SUB>therein; comparing the percentage of CO and H<SUB>2 </SUB>in the cleaned gas stream with the required CO and H<SUB>2 </SUB>to produce the predetermined C<SUB>X</SUB>H<SUB>Y</SUB>O<SUB>Z </SUB>product; determining the additional of CO and H<SUB>2 </SUB>required; determining the secondary feedstock; calculating the amount of CO, H<SUB>2 </SUB>and heat produced from the secondary feedstock; partially oxidizing the secondary feedstock to produce heat and a secondary gas stream; combining the CO and H<SUB>2 </SUB>from both feedstocks to produce a mixed gas stream; adding a catalyst; and distilling to produce the predetermined C<SUB>X</SUB>H<SUB>Y</SUB>O<SUB>Z </SUB>product.
