Abstract
Methods for generating a vapor are provided. In some embodiments, the method may comprise heating a pressurized stream liquid brine in an ohmic heating device and introducing the resulting heated, pressurized stream liquid brine into a flash vessel such that the heated, pressurized liquid brine flashes to a vapor portion and a remaining liquid portion. In some embodiments, the method provides integrated vapor generation and water treatment such that feedwaters of varying water quality may be used. Also provided are related systems for generating a vapor.
