Abstract:
A steam reboiler unit that includes turbines for reducing the pressure of various streams associated with the reboilers. The turbines generate electricity from the pressure reduction which can be recovered and utilized elsewhere in the processing unit. Data from the turbine associated with the amount of electrical power generated by the turbine is used to adjust other processing conditions to provide for a more efficient operation of the processing unit.

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus for boiling a liquid stream in a reboiler, the apparatus comprising:\n a shell with at least one inlet configured to receive a liquid process stream and at least one outlet configured to provide a mixed stream comprising the liquid process stream and a vapor portion of the liquid process stream; a heat exchanger disposed within the shell and configured to allow the liquid process stream to absorb heat from steam within the heat exchanger; a condensate recovery line in communication with an outlet of the heat exchanger; a steam supply line in communication with an inlet of the heat exchanger; and, at least one turbine comprising a turbine wheel configured to transmit rotational movement to an electrical generator, the least one turbine being disposed in the condensate recovery line, in the steam supply line, or both.
