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 1):
A process for recovering electrical power from a steam reboiler system with a turbine, the process comprising:\n converting an inlet liquid process stream into a vapor phase and a liquid phase in a reboiler; heating the inlet liquid process stream within the reboiler with a stream of steam with a heat exchanger having an inlet and an outlet; reducing a pressure of the stream of steam with a turbine prior to heating the inlet liquid process stream; recovering condensate from the outlet after heating the inlet liquid process stream; rotating a turbine wheel within the turbine, the turbine wheel configured to transmit rotational movement to an electrical generator; and, generating electricity with the turbine.
