but if capturing the BTUs is the most important
issue then why use an inefficient desalination system like steam
distilling?


Because boiling seawater into steam from the waste heat off an engine is
about as simple a thing to do as you can get. To make an RO run off waste
heat, you have to convert it to PRESSURE, probably to electricity to run
the RO's pump and computer, right? I want to simply boil seawater into
steam in heat exchangers running off hot exhaust gasses and engine
coolant....making distilled water for NOTHING in fuel and very little in
maintenance.
