An oil recovery process entails recovering an oil-water mixture from an oil bearing formation and separating the oil-water mixture to produce an oil product and produced water. The produced water includes suspended and dissolved solids and is subjected to treatment which removes suspended and dissolved solids therefrom. The treated water is then directed to a forced circulation steam generator that includes a furnace having a burner, water cooled walls and an evaporator unit. The treated water is pumped through the water cooled walls and the evaporator unit. The water passing through the water cooled walls and evaporator unit are heated to produce approximately 10% to approximately 30% quality steam in both the water cooled walls and the evaporator unit. The steam is collected and separated from a water-steam mixture to produce high quality steam, on the order of 95% or greater quality steam. This steam constitutes injection steam which is injected into an injection well to facilitate the recovery of the oil-water mixture.

A waste heat boiler system for cooling a process gas, including a first shell-and-tube heat exchanger for cooling relatively hot gas down to relatively warm gas, an intermediate chamber for receiving gas, cooled down to relatively warm gas, coming out of tubes of the first heat exchanger, and a second shell-and-tube heat exchanger for cooling relatively warm gas further down to relatively cool gas. The intermediate chamber is provided with an outlet fluidly connected to a bypass channel for allowing a part of the relatively warm gas to bypass tubes of the second heat exchanger. The bypass channel and tubes of the second heat exchanger are both fluidly connected with a mixing chamber for mixing together relatively warm gas flowed from the intermediate chamber into the mixing chamber via the bypass channel and relatively cool gas come out of the tubes of the second heat exchanger.

An apparatus for generating superheated vapor using waste heat recovery. A housing has an inlet tank and an outlet tank at both ends. Exhaust gas is introduced through the inlet tank, and is discharged through the outlet tank. A plurality of wave fin structures are disposed inside the housing so as to be spaced apart from each other at predetermined distances in a top-bottom direction, and include a plurality of peaks and a plurality of valleys which are connected in a transverse direction so as to form wave-like structures in a direction in which the exhaust gas flows. A plurality of working fluid tubes alternate with the plurality of wave fin structures. An inlet pipe through which working fluid is introduced and an outlet pipe through which the working fluid is discharged are disposed on a side surface of the housing.
