Patent ID: 7228682

Claim:
A system for augmented electric power generation with distilled water output, comprising: a gas turbine power generation system having a gas turbine and a first electric power generator, the gas turbine driving the first electric power generator, the gas turbine having an air intake and an exhaust output; a heat recovery steam generator having a flue gas input, a water input, and an HRSG steam output, the flue gas input being in communication with said exhaust output, wherein the heat recovery steam generator uses said exhaust output to convert water into steam; a multistage evaporator having a primary steam input, a wastewater input, a secondary steam output, and at least one condensate output, the primary steam input being in communication with said HRSG steam output, wherein wastewater entering the wastewater input is evaporated by heat from the steam entering the steam input and condensed, the condensate exiting the condensate output as distilled water; an absorption refrigeration unit having a steam input, a preheating circuit having a preheating input and a preheating output, and a chilling circuit having a chilling input and a chilling output, the steam input being in communication with said secondary steam output, the preheating output being in communication with said wastewater input, the preheating input being connected to a wastewater source; an air cooling heat exchanger disposed in a closed fluid circuit between said chilling input and chilling output, the air cooling heat exchanger being disposed in the air flow path of said air intake.
