Abstract: A hydrocarbon production equipment includes: a first reaction device that receives a source gas and causes the source gas to react by using a catalyst to generate a first intermediate gas; a second reaction device that causes the first intermediate gas to react by using a catalyst to generate a second intermediate gas; a heat supplier that can supply heat for heating the catalyst to a reactor and can supply heat for heating the catalyst to the reactor; and a controller that controls an operation of the heat supplier. The controller selectively outputs a first control signal for supplying heat to each of the first reaction device and the second reaction device and a second control signal for supplying heat to only one of the first reaction device and the second reaction device to the heat supplier. The controller selects any one of the first control signal and the second control signal based on the amount of hydrogen included in the source gas.

Abstract: A reaction system includes a carbon dioxide collection unit that collects carbon dioxide by an absorption process or an adsorption process, a reaction unit that generates hydrocarbons from a raw material containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and a distillation unit that distills hydrocarbons, wherein hydrocarbons are distilled in the distillation unit by reaction heat generated by generating hydrocarbons in the reaction unit, and carbon dioxide absorbed or adsorbed in the carbon dioxide collection unit is separated by a low-temperature heat medium that has a temperature lower than a high-temperature heat medium being a heat medium introduced to the distillation unit, as a result of consuming part of the reaction heat in the distillation unit.
