System, apparatus and method for managing heat transfer in post combustion (CO2 and H2S) gas treating systems

A system, comprising:

• a stationary, non-vehicular combustion device selected from the group consisting of a turbine, a boiler, an engine and a furnace;
• one or more gas treatment modules comprising at least one of
• (i) an absorption-based system, comprising at least one absorber, the absorption-based system being configured as an independent absorption loop comprising a solvent fluid that circulates to treat a gas stream, and/or
• (ii) an adsorption-based system comprising at least one adsorber, the adsorption-based system being configured as an independent adsorption loop comprising a stripping gas that circulates to strip a gas compound from the adsorber;
• one or more heat recovery heat exchangers operatively coupled to the combustion device and/or to the one or more gas treatment modules, wherein the one or more heat recovery heat exchangers are configured to recover thermal energy from the combustion device and/or the one or more gas treatment modules;
• a thermal fluid loop heat exchange mechanism configured to transfer thermal energy via thermal fluid:
• (i) from the combustion device to the:
• a) one or more gas treatment modules for the one or more gas treatment modules to recover gas compounds to enhance the efficiency in the system by utilizing waste heat from the combustion device, and/or
• b) one or more heat recovery heat exchangers to enhance energy efficiency in the system by utilizing waste heat from the combustion device;
• and/or
• (ii) from the one or more gas treatment modules to the one or more heat recovery heat exchangers to enhance energy efficiency in the system by utilizing waste heat from the one or more gas treatment modules,
• and
• a control module, wherein the control module is configured to cause energy to be selectively diverted from one or more of combustion device exhaust flow, thermal fluid, stripped gas, the stripping gas, the solvent fluid, compressed stripped gas, natural gas, compressed natural gas, chilled thermal fluid, jacket water fluid, auxiliary cooling water, and/or lube oil, through any of the one or more gas treatment modules, the combustion device and/or the one or more heat recovery heat exchangers to provide heat and/or cooling and/or power.
