Abstract:
A cogeneration waste heat evaporation system and method for wastewater treatment utilizing waste heat recovery from, e.g., a gas turbine, is described, comprising recovering engine waste heat by capturing and routing such waste heat through a unique evaporator system. Such evaporation system may include one or more of a bypass throttle system, which controls the flow such exhaust through one or both of a bypass duct and an evaporator duct, at least one electrical thermal resistance heater operated to modulate demand on the engine, and thus, modulate output of waste heat into the evaporation system and/or to provide additional heat for the evaporation and/or drying process, and a downstream afterburner utilized in conjunction with a gas turbine engine.
