This invention relates to a method for desalination of seawater (5, 30)
and separation of CO.sub.2 from exhaust (77) from a gas turbine (7). LNG
(4) is fed into a heat exchanger (6) in which it receives heat from
seawater (5) and heat from steam (27) from an exhaust boiler, and heat
from combustion air (3) via a line to an air inlet (33) of said gas
turbine (7), for evaporating LNG (4) to gas which is fed to a gas export
module (10) and to a fuel gas skid (8) for supplying said gas turbine (7)
with fuel. Thus said combustion air (3, 28) at the air inlet to said gas
turbine (7) obtains a lowered temperature and increases an efficiency of
said gas turbine (7). Said CO.sub.2-rich exhaust gas (77) from said gas
turbine (7) is fed into a process unit (17) having an inlet (35a) with a
fan (35b) and an outlet for CO.sub.2-reduced exhaust (13). Said cooled
seawater from said heat exchanger (6) is fed into said process unit (17)
via a coaxial feed pipe (67) for seawater and NH.sub.4OH arranged in said
process unit (17). NH.sub.4OH is fed into said coaxial feed pipe (67) and
is then mixed with said cooled seawater (30) and released via a series of
nozzles in several vertical levels from said feed pipe (67) to said
process unit's (17) upwards flowing, rotating exhaust (77). By this
device a good mixture of NH.sub.4OH-containing salt water and
CO.sub.2-rich exhaust is achieved, for formation of NaHCO.sub.3,
NH.sub.4Cl, and fresh water.
