Method and system for an electric and steam supply system
An electric and steam system includes an electrical generator assembly configured to receive a first portion of a flow of a boil off gas (NBOG). An oxidizing unit is configured to receive a second portion of the flow of the boil off gas (NBOG), the second portion being an excess of the flow of the boil off gas (NBOG) that the electrical generator can process, and a crossover duct configured to receive a first flow of exhaust gas from the electrical generator assembly and a second flow of exhaust gas from the oxidizing unit and channel the first and second flows to an inlet of a heat recovery steam generator.

Ship cogeneration system using waste heat of LNG engine ship recovered through economizer
Proposed is a ship cogeneration system using waste heat of an LNG engine ship recovered through an economizer. More particularly, proposed is a ship cogeneration system using waste heat of an LNG engine ship recovered through an economizer. The ship cogeneration system is configured to generate electric power by recovering waste heat generated from an LNG engine and providing high-temperature and high-pressure steam discharged from the economizer to an evaporator of an organic Rankine cycle. The ship cogeneration system is capable of removing soot generated on a contact surface between the exhaust gas of the LNG engine and the economizer by using some of the high-temperature and high-pressure steam.
