Abstract:
A method of recovering heat from a Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) fractionation plant for production of potable water. The method includes heating a buffer fluid via a heat exchanger in to transfer heat from the NGL fractionation plant to the buffer fluid. The method includes heating water with the buffer fluid discharged from the heat exchanger to produce potable water via train distillation effects.
