PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an on-start up operation method by which a hydrogen-containing gas producing apparatus is properly started while suppressing the cost thereof.SOLUTION: The on-start up operation method for the hydrogen-containing gas producing apparatus includes: a temperature rising step of combusting a raw fuel in a combustor 3 after a first valve Vb is closed, a second valve Ve is closed and a raw fuel distributary flow passage 12 is opened, upon starting up of the hydrogen-containing gas producing apparatus; a gas production starting step of starting the production of the hydrogen-containing gas in a reformer 4 by making the raw fuel flow in a desulfurizer 2 and the reformer 4 by opening the first valve Vb after raising the temperature of the reformer 4 to equal to or above set starting temperature by the temperature rising step; and a gas supply starting step of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas to the outside of the hydrogen-containing gas production apparatus by opening the second valve Ve after increasing the pressure of a hydrogen-containing gas supply passage 11 to a set operation starting pressure by the gas production starting step. |
