Abstract
A method for co-generating electricity in a process plant using feedwater, where the process plant is integrated with a thermal power generator, is provided. The method includes obtaining a pressurized stream of hot feedwater from a feedwater generation unit of the process plant; compressing the pressurized stream of hot feedwater by pumping and splitting the pressurized stream of hot feedwater to obtain a first stream of feedwater and a second stream of feedwater; routing the second stream of feedwater to the thermal power generator; cooling the second stream of feedwater against a process fluid that is used in the thermal power generator to generate a heat in the thermal power generator and to obtain a cooled second stream of feedwater; and co-generating the electricity, using the thermal power generator integrated with the process plant, using the heat.
