I believe there might be some potential in the "gas hydrate crystals centrifuge method" for producing potable water. Apparently, this technology has evolved from practices developed in the offshore petroleum industry, but has not been pursued much in the water treatment field. There is one company that appears to be trying to commercialize the process, ECOWAT of Norway. Unfortunately, there is little in the way of actual data available for the process, although it may prove a bit less energy intense than reverse osmosis approaches...
