Synthesis gas for FT synthesis is produced using a producing apparatus
including an active carbon adsorbing vessel for adsorbing impurities in a
natural gas, a hydro-desulfurizer for hydrogenating and desulfurizing
sulfur content in the natural gas under a condition of a partial pressure
of hydrogen of 100 to 200 kPa, a second hydrogen supplying line for
supplying hydrogen to the natural gas between the hydro-desulfurizer and
a reactor, the reactor for obtaining synthesis gas by reacting the
natural gas, carbon dioxide and steam in the presence of a catalyst for
reforming, and a heat recovering boiler for cooling the synthesis gas at
a cooling rate of 2000 to 4000.degree. C./second.
