A solution to exploit potential energy of associated gas by combining refining processes and CHP units

We know that the organic resources of energy will not exist for ever .Therefore, exploiting new resources such as wind, solar and sea wave have been raised for energy production in IRAN. On the other hand, new techniques such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units are used to optimize and increase efficiency of energy production. Despite of the efforts to produce valuable energy, large amount of it is lost. For example the wasted energy of associated gas that is burned in the flares all along the country is not ignorable. In this paper we propose a solution to use refining processes and CHP units simultaneously to produce electrical power and utilities from associated gas.
