Compacted air flow rapid fluid evaporation system

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor assembly configured to mix a solution and a gas to produce at least a partially atomized mixture of the solution and the gas, the processor assembly including an inlet member and an outlet nozzle, the inlet member and the outlet nozzle collectively defining a gas flow path and a mixing chamber, the inlet member defining a solution flow path, the processor assembly configured to be fluidically coupled to a source of the solution such that the solution can be conveyed from the source to the mixing chamber via the solution flow path, the processor assembly configured such that the gas can be conveyed within the gas flow path prior to being mixed with the solution and into the mixing chamber, the inlet member including a flow structure configured to produce a rotational velocity component within a flow of the gas when the gas enters the mixing chamber;
• and
• a separator configured to be fluidically coupled to the processor assembly, the separator configured to receive the mixture of the gas and the solution, the separator configured to produce a first outlet flow and a second outlet flow, the first outlet flow including a portion of the gas and a vaporized portion of a solvent from the solution, the second outlet flow including a liquid portion of the solvent from the solution, the solvent including water, and a solute from the solution, the solute including salt.
