| Resumo: | The distribution of drinking water is one of the most problems social of
humanity, mainly due to scarcity of fresh water in some regions of the world. Hence,
desalination has gained more significance, because it is an attractive solution owing
to the large volume of seawater. In recent years, technological advances in
cogeneration have provided significant improvements in thermal desalination.
Nevertheless, the production of desalinated water still has a high operating cost for
most countries. Thus, increasing the efficiency of the system components and
reducing the costs associated with each one of them become fundamental parts for
the improvement of the process. Therefore, this work presents the modeling and
evaluation of a 30kW gas microturbine power plant integrated into a multi-effect
distillation unit with thermal vapor compression (MED-TVC). The energetic,
exergetic, exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental analyses of the plant were
developed by the SPECO method. The plant has presented a production of 29.69
m3/day of desalinated water for 0.04033 kg/s of motive steam, resulting in Gain
Output Ratio (GOR) of 8.52. In addition, the exergetic efficiency increased from
13.84% to 23.39% with the use of cogeneration. The exergy destroyed in the
desalination unit represented only 18% of the total. The average cost per exergy
unit of electricity was 94.73 US$/GJ and the cost of desalinated water produced was
5.6 US$/m3. The exergoeconomic analysis indicated that investments in
improvements in generator, effect 1 and regenerator efficiency are fundamental for
the economic optimization of the plant. The specific environmental impact of
electricity was 13892 mPt/GJ, while that of desalinated water was 14645 mPt/GJ.
The environmental results showed that improvements in the regenerator, effect 1,
HRSG and generator are crucial for the plant's best environmental performance. |
