Abstract

Z-Distiller is a geometry-driven, membrane-free, and power-minimal water separation primitive intended as a survivability-layer or terminal ZLD stage within water treatment systems. This document is a conceptual disclosure only. It does not provide construction drawings, operational parameters, or performance guarantees. The system prioritizes physical persistence and inspectability over thermodynamic optimization and is not intended as a consumer or industrial product.
