A system and method for treating turbine exhaust gas includes an industrial process turbine exhaust gas discharge structure, a catalytic turbine exhaust gas treatment device positioned at least partially within the industrial process turbine exhaust gas discharge structure, a pump, and at least two heat exchangers. The catalytic turbine exhaust gas treatment device is positioned at least partially within the industrial process turbine exhaust gas discharge structure. A first heat exchanger is positioned at least partially within the industrial process turbine exhaust gas discharge section structure and upstream of the catalytic turbine exhaust gas treatment device to remove heat from an the turbine exhaust gas by transferring heat to a working fluid. A second heat exchanger removes heat from the working fluid gained at the first heat exchanger. The pump drives the working fluid between the first and second heat exchanger.

A heat recovery device, including a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure comprising an outer peripheral side wall having one or more planar outer peripheral side surfaces; one or more thermoelectric conversion modules arranged to face the one or more planar outer peripheral side surfaces; a tubular member that circumferentially covers the outer peripheral side surfaces of the honeycomb structure and the one or more thermoelectric conversion modules; and a casing that circumferentially covers the tubular member; wherein the partition walls are mainly configured of ceramics; and wherein the casing has an inflow port and an outflow port for a second fluid having a temperature lower than that of the first fluid, and a flow path for the second fluid is formed circumferentially around the tubular member between an inner surface of the casing and an outer surface of the tubular member.

A heat conduction member includes: a cylindrical ceramic body, a metal pipe on the outer periphery side of the cylindrical ceramic body, and an intermediate member held between the cylindrical ceramic body and the metal pipe. The cylindrical ceramic body has passages passing through from one end face to the other end face and allowing the first fluid to flow therethrough. The intermediate member is made of material having at least a part having a Young's modulus of 150 Gpa or less. The first fluid is allowed to flow through the inside of the cylindrical ceramic body while the second fluid having lower temperature than that of the first fluid is allowed to flow on the outer peripheral face side of the metal pipe to perform heat exchange between the first fluid and the second fluid.
