Abstract
A system or method for producing gasoline from natural gas via methanol can effectively use the heat of reaction generated during the synthesis of gasoline and is capable of readily cooling the gasoline synthesis column in the production of gasoline from natural gas via methanol. A steam reformersteam-reforms natural gas to generate reformed gas, methanol is synthesized by a methanol synthesis columnfrom the reformed gas, and in synthesizing gasoline from methanol by using a gasoline synthesis column, combustion airto be supplied to the steam reformeris preheated with the heat of reaction generated in the gasoline synthesis column, and then the preheated combustion airis supplied to the steam reformer
