Hydrocarbon synthesis reaction apparatus
First Claim
1. A hydrocarbon synthesis reaction apparatus, comprising:
- a reaction vessel configured to bring a synthesis gas having carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas as main components into contact with a slurry having a solid catalyst suspended in a liquid hydrocarbon compound to synthesize a liquid hydrocarbon compound using a Fischer-Tropsch reaction;
a filter that is installed inside the reaction vessel and is configured to separate the liquid hydrocarbon compound from the catalyst; and
a powdered catalyst particles-discharging device configured to discharge powdered catalyst particles in the solid catalyst in the slurry to the outside of the reaction vessel, whereinthe powdered catalyst particles-discharging device includes;
a first classifier configured to separate the powdered catalyst particles from the solid catalyst in the slurry, using a settling velocity difference of the particles in a liquid;
an outflow passage configured that the powdered catalyst particles separated in the first classifier flows to the outside of the first classifier together with the liquid hydrocarbon compound therethrough; and
a powdered catalyst particles separator that is provided in the outflow passage and is configured to trap the powdered catalyst particles.
