GE 7FA 262 MW - COGAS
Up to 80,000 tonnes/day Fresh Water from the sea Weir Entropie TCD 4-10,000 thermal-compression distillation units
Why Co-Generation? Here, steam is extracted from power turbines before exit to condensers; evaporates sea water in distillation units. Hot drains of fresh water and brine then deliver heat to re-gasify LNG. Overall efficiency of utilities is enhanced Much less waste heat is rejected to the ocean Fresh water is produced economically No natural gas need be burned to re-gasify LNG Closed-Loop re-gasification: no sea water is subjected to cryogenic temperatures
Co-Generation relative heat/energy flows with water and re-gasification
