A hydrocarbon synthesis reaction apparatus includes a reactor that brings a synthesis gas into contact with a slurry having a solid catalyst suspended in liquid hydrocarbons to synthesize hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction; a cylindrical inner tube having a lower end arranged within the reactor at a predetermined distance from the bottom of the reactor; and a sparger that is arranged on an inner lower side of the inner tube and blows the synthesis gas toward the inside of the inner tube. A Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction region, to which the slurry including bubbles flows out from the inside of the inner tube through an upper end of the inner tube, is formed in a space between a virtual extension portion of the upper end of the inner tube and an inner surface of the reactor, in a state where the slurry is held within the reactor until the upper end of the inner tube is lower than the liquid level of the slurry. |
