This is a great paper, the really cool bit is that it seems fairly straight forward to convert this to a larger process. Basically add saltwater, warm it, take the settled part of the solution (which is now desalinated) out of the bottom, and the salt dense water out of the top, cool it and precipitate out the salt. Nothing has to evaporate everything runs at a normal vapor pressure so you aren't struggling with high pressure and low pressure domains. I'd love to see if you could use spent nuclear fuel (which is an excellent heat source) to just run one of these things continuously for a couple of decades :-).
