Why the cogeneration plant complete with pressure


A natural gas-fired boiler in a textile plant in sharjah is used to provide steam at 130oC. At times of high demand, the boiler supplies heat to the steam at a rate of 30 MJ/s. The plant also uses up to 6 MW of electrical power purchased from SEWA (the local power company). The plant management is considered converting the existing process plant into a cogeneration plant to meet both their process-heat and power requirements. Your job is to come up with some designs. Designs based on a gas turbine or steam turbines are to be considered. First decide whether a system based on a gas turbine or a steam turbine will best serve the purpose, considering the cost and the complexity. Then propose your design for the cogeneration plant complete with pressure and temperatures and the mass flow rates. Show that the proposed design meets the power and process-heat requirements of the plant.
