Water reclamation system and method

摘要

A system reclaiming contaminated water includes a heat exchanger (304) that receives the contaminated water and converts at least a portion of the contaminated water into steam and collects at least a portion of the contaminants within the heat exchanger. A thermal transfer fluid is heated by a heat exchanger is communication with a heat source (200). The heated fluid is circulated through the heat exchanger (304) to heat the contaminated water. A steam engine (410) is coupled to a generator (480), the steam engine receives the steam from the heat exchanger to drive the generator to provide power for the system. Steam exhausted from the steam engine is supplied to supplemental heat loads (500) and then condensed in a modular condensing system (610). The collected contaminants are directed to an evaporation device (620) to remove residual liquid.
