METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHETIC FUEL

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide a method of producing synthetic fuel from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic crude oil obtained by a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis method, the method comprising the steps of: (a) fractionating, in a fractionator, Fischer-Tropsch synthetic crude oil obtained by a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis method into at least two fractions of a middle fraction containing a component having a boiling range corresponding to diesel fuel oil, and a wax fraction containing a wax component heavier than the middle fraction; (b) separating and removing a magnetic particle contained in the wax fraction obtained in the step (a) at 100°C to 450°C by using a high gradient magnetic separator; and (c) hydrocracking the wax fraction obtained in the step (b) from which the magnetic particle is separated and removed.
