Abstract:
1. A hydrocarbon synthesis reaction apparatus for synthesizing a hydrocarbon compound by a chemical reaction of a synthesis gas including hydrogen and carbon monoxide as the main components, and a slurry having solid catalyst particles suspended in a liquid, the hydrocarbon synthesis reaction apparatus comprising: a reactor which is configured to contain the slurry; a synthesis gas introduction part for introducing the synthesis gas into the reactor; and a synthesis gas heating part which is provided in the synthesis gas introduction part for heating the synthesis gas to be introduced into the reactor to the decomposition temperature of carbonyl compounds or higher, wherein the synthesis gas heating part includes at least one of: (i) a drawn gas heat-exchange part for heating the synthesis gas by using the heat of a gas drawn from a reactor gas outlet part, wherein said reactor gas outlet part is disposed in the hydrocarbon synthesis reaction apparatus for drawing the gas from the reactor heated by the heat generated by the chemical reaction therein, and (ii) a steam heat-exchange part for heating the synthesis gas by using a steam.
