PROCESS FOR DESALINATING WATER WHILE PRODUCING POWER |
摘要 |
A process and apparatus for desalinating seawater or brine and purifying water which contains minerals, salts, and other dissolved solids while simultaneously generating power. The salinous water is heated in a boiler (11) to form steam and a concentrated brine. The concentrated brine is removed from the boiler, the steam produced in the boiler is washed with fresh water in wash column (13) to remove trace salts and inorganic materials, and water bearing trace salts and inorganic materials are returned to the boiler (11). The washed steam is expanded across a turbine (19) to generate electrical or mechanical power which is utilized as a product. The steam exhausted from the turbine (19) is collected and condensed in condenser (24), and one portion of the condensed water is utilized as a fresh water product and another portion of the condensed water is used as the wash water to wash the steam produced in the boiler (11). Boiler scaling and corrosion may be controlled by feed water pretreatment. By utilizing distillation combined with power generation, demand for fresh water and power can be satisfied simultaneously.
