<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent blockage of a heating burner tip by deposition of a heavy hydrocarbon contained in an FT offgas when the FT offgas is used as fuel for a tubular reformer in a GTL process. <P>SOLUTION: The heavy hydrocarbon contained in the FT offgas is removed by being brought into contact with absorber oil, introduced into a distillation column, and aerated with a coolant or an absorbent, and the FT offgas from which the heavy hydrocarbon has been removed is used as fuel for the tubular reformer. With this configuration, prolonged stable operation of the tubular reformer is made possible and effective use of the FT offgas as a fuel can be ensured. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
