According to MIT, this technology works even at small scale, with one the size of a suitcase able to desalinate 6 litres per hour, and only needing to be serviced every few years.

Here's a video detailing how it works.

I wanted to emphasize how well it works at small scale. But there's nothing in the article that says it only scales to the size of a suitcase, as far as I could see, they just used that as an example.
