Steam , for example, is produced from aqueous brine, by a system that employs preferably hot waste fluid, and nozzle means and rotary separator means generally of a known per se. the method steps include transferring the waste heat of combustion source(22) to the flowing in heater exchanger coil (23) expanding the hot brine through nozzle means(24) to form a jet of steam and liquid droplets, causing said expanded flow to rotate the rotary separator means (26) for forming a liquid layer of said droplets on the separator means by centrigugal action while separating the steam ( at 28) which is used to heat the incloming brine pumped by pump (11) in condensers(14, 13) the separated liquid from the rorating layer is used to drive turbine means (29) and the condensed steam provides fresh water from the brine, several stages of separators may be employed in series or in series and parallel, also, the steam may be used to assist in power generation, the system described is of low first cost and low operation cost, and is simple and reliable
