Systems and methods for crude oil desalting technology are provided. More specifically, systems and methods for the usage of waste heat from compression to treat high salinity water are provided. The systems and methods generate recycled water streams for desalter treatment. The systems and methods can treat high salinity waters from desalters and dehydrators. The high salinity streams are introduced to the compressed gas streams, where the waste heat causes the water portion of the water streams to evaporate, resulting in a fully or near-saturated gas stream and a concentrated waste water stream. The saturated gas streams are cooled and condensed, and low TDS water is separated from the gas stream in knockout drums. The low TDS water can be reintroduced to the desalting system as wash water, generating a circular water reuse.
