Abstract: A cryogenic tank assembly includes a cryogenic tank having an internal volume that is configured to contain liquefied natural gas (LNG). The cryogenic tank includes an inlet and an outlet that are each fluidly connected to the internal volume. The assembly includes a recirculation conduit coupled in fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet. The recirculation conduit extends along a path between the inlet and outlet external to the internal volume of the cryogenic tank such that the path is configured to be exposed to an ambient environment of the cryogenic tank. The recirculation conduit is configured to: receive a flow of LNG from the internal volume through the outlet; transfer heat from the ambient environment to the LNG flow to change the LNG flow to a flow of natural gas; and inject the natural gas flow into the internal volume of the cryogenic tank through the inlet.

Abstract: A turbine system (100) includes a compressor section (104), an inlet cooling system (122) coupled upstream of the compressor section (104) and configured to cool ambient air entering the compressor section (104), and a turbine section (108) coupled in flow communication with the compressor section (104) and including at least one hot gas path component (140). The system further includes a controller (144) configured to receive feedback parameters indicative of a temperature of the at least one hot gas path component (140), estimate a remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component (140) based on the received feedback parameters, determine a desired power output of the turbine system (100) based on the estimated remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component (140) and a cooling capacity of the inlet cooling system (122), and control operation of the turbine system (100) to cause the turbine system (100) to generate the desired power output.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for improving the efficiency of a combined-cycle power generation plant and desalination unit. The process includes supplying exhaust gases from a gas turbine set used to generate electrical power to a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and then directing the steam from the HRSG to a steam turbine set. Salinous water is supplied into an effect of the desalination unit. Steam exhausted from the steam turbine set is utilized in the effect of the desalination unit to produce a distillate vapor and brine from the effect by heat exchange. Additionally, steam is introduced steam from at least one additional heat source from the combined-cycle power generation plant to the effect to increase the mass flow rate of steam into the effect. In one embodiment, the additional heat source is an intercooler heat exchanger. Heated water from the intercooler heat exchanger is provided to a reduced atmosphere flash tank, and the steam flashed in the flash tank is provided to the effect.
