ABSTRACT:
A method of generating electrical power while simultaneously converting salt water to fresh water includes the steps of: a) supplying exhaust gases from a gas turbine used to generate electrical power to a boiler located downstream of the gas turbine and upstream of a gas turbine exhaust gas stack; b) employing a closed thermal transfer fluid circuit between the boiler and a desalinization plant for recirculating the thermal transfer fluid between a first heat exchange in the boiler and a second heat exchanger in the desalinization plant where the thermal transfer fluid passes in heat exchange relationship with the seawater to thereby heat the seawater as a first step in a distillation process.
