Liquid fuel production system and liquid fuel production method

Abstract

A liquid fuel production system includes: a liquid fuel-synthesizing portion configured to advance a conversion reaction from a raw material gas containing at least hydrogen and a carbon oxide to a liquid fuel; a raw material gas-supplying portion configured to supply the raw material gas to the liquid fuel-synthesizing portion; and a raw material gas-circulating portion configured to resupply a remaining raw material gas, which contains the hydrogen and the carbon oxide that are unreacted, and an acidic by-product of the conversion reaction, from the liquid fuel-synthesizing portion to the raw material gas-supplying portion, wherein the raw material gas-supplying portion includes a mixing portion configured to mix an amine compound and the remaining raw material gas in the presence of water vapor, and a moisture-removing portion configured to remove a neutralized product of the amine compound and the acidic by-product together with condensed water of the water vapor.
