Organic hydride production system, control device for organic hydride production system, and control method for organic hydride production system

Abstract

A control device for an organic compound production system includes an electrolytic bath and a catholyte supply device. The electrolytic bath includes a cathode chamber accommodating a cathode electrode for reducing a compound raw material in a catholyte by electrolysis to produce an organic compound, and a first cathode opening and a second cathode opening communicating with the inside and the outside of the cathode chamber. The catholyte supply device is capable of switching between supply of the catholyte from the first cathode opening to the cathode chamber and supply of the catholyte from the second cathode opening to the cathode chamber. The control device is structured to control the catholyte supply device so as to supply the catholyte from the first cathode opening to the cathode chamber in a steady state, and supply the catholyte from the second cathode opening to the cathode chamber under a predetermined condition.
