Patent ID: 10577577

Abstract:
Provided is a novel apparatus capable of suitably manufacturing an organic substance from a syngas. An apparatus 1 for manufacturing an organic substance includes a syngas producing furnace (11), an organic substance synthesis unit (16), a moisture content raising unit (12), and a moisture content lowering unit (13). The syngas producing furnace (11) is configured to produce a syngas containing carbon monoxide by partly oxidizing a carbon source. The organic substance synthesis unit (16) is configured to produce an organic substance from the syngas. The moisture content raising unit (12) is disposed between the syngas producing furnace (11) and the organic substance synthesis unit (16). The moisture content raising unit (12) is configured to raise a moisture content of the syngas. The moisture content lowering unit (13) is disposed between the moisture content raising unit (12) and the organic substance synthesis unit (16). The moisture content lowering unit (13) is configured to lower the moisture content of the syngas.
