 * || CO2 || Water Produced || Energy Consumed ||
 * Reverse Osmosis || 1.78kg || 320,000m3 || 750V ||
 * Multi Stage Flash || 23.41kg || 25m3 || 9862.5V ||

clearly reverse osmosis is the much more efficient and stronger method to create drinking water from otherwise un-drinkable water. at much more meters squared for a fraction of the CO2 produced it is clear that why even bother using multi stage flash when you can use reverse osmosis.

100–400 kJ of work per mol of CO2 this a number i found at the site http://www.greencarcongress.com/2007/11/researchers-dev.html 1.5 ×104 joules per liter of treated water number from the http://www.techbriefs.com/content/view/1759/34/ for energy consumed.
