Method for treating and distributing water generated in a self-contained water using unit

A method for processing and distributing water in a self-contained unit, said method comprising the following steps:

• a) combining at least one high temperature fuel cell (1) with an operation of a turbine (6),
• b) integrating a reformer process (2) into said at least one high temperature fuel cell,
• c) operating said reformer process (2) inside said at least one high temperature fuel cell by process heat from said at least one high temperature fuel cell (1) thereby using at least one hydrocarbon first fuel component and a second fuel component, and preheating at least one fuel component of said first and second fuel components by process heat of said at least one high temperature fuel cell,
• d) admixing at least one of contaminated water or gray water and fresh water to said at least one hydrocarbon first fuel component in said reformer process (2),
• e) operating a water purification process (14, 15) with process heat from said high temperature fuel cell (1), and
• f) feeding purified water from said water purification process (14, 15) to a water distribution system (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22).
