Abstract
In a process for producing hydrocarbons according to the present invention, estimated production rates for a light hydrocarbon oil and a heavy hydrocarbon oil are respectively determined based on a set reaction temperature used when the hydrocarbons are synthesized by a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, and the discharge flow rates of the light hydrocarbon oil and the heavy hydrocarbon oil from temporary storage buffer tanks (91, 92) during supply to a fractionator (40) are respectively controlled so as to be equal to the respective estimated production rates.
