Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2246531A1] A power plant for the generation of electrical energy comprises steam and/or gas turbines (2, 3, 4, 13) driven by fossil fuels and a CO2 capture system (20) for capturing CO2 gases from the flue gases that result from the combustion of the fossil fuels. It furthermore comprises a CO2 gas processing unit (GPU) for the compression and cooling of the captured CO2. A cooling circuit (24) of the gas processing unit (GPU) forms a closed loop that includes a heat exchanger (25) for the heating of brine, where this heat exchanger (25) is part of a water treatment system having a multi-stage flash distiller (MSF). In the closed loop (24) low-temperature waste heat from the CO2 gas processing unit (GPU) is utilized for the water treatment system. The overall power plant energy efficiency is thereby increased.
