CATALYST SEPARATION SYSTEM

摘要

A catalyst separation system is provided with: a reactor where hydrocarbons are synthesized by a chemical reaction of a synthesis gas including carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas as main components, and a catalyst slurry having solid catalyst particles suspended in a liquid; filters which separate the hydrocarbons and the catalyst slurry; and a gas-liquid separator which separates the liquid hydrocarbons flowing out of the filters into gas hydrocarbons and liquid hydrocarbons. In the catalyst separation system, the gas-liquid separator has a plurality of branch pipes which extend from the filters, and a collecting pipe which collects a fluid which flows through the branch pipes, and has a larger diameter than the branch pipes; and the collecting pipe is a ring-shaped header.
