US Patent 7574853 Microturbine with CHP system having a distillation apparatus

A power plant with a CHP system having a distillation apparatus to yield a high thermally efficient electrical power plant for reduced fuel usage and subsequent lower CO2 emission specie. The incorporation of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system with a microturbine, makes use of the low emissions gas turbine exhaust gas waste heat of this electrical power generation plant for distillation processes, replacing the current use of electrical heating elements of the distiller unit. The inventive device includes a distiller apparatus and a microturbine gas turbine electrical power plant, a heat exchanger device where the exhaust gas waste heat energy of a gas turbine power plant passes thru one side of a series of plates/sheets of material and or tubes and heats the process fluids on the opposite side and also a surface area condenser is incorporated to reduce the product vapor state to a liquid.
