This article discusses a systematic monitoring study of desalination by distillation through vapor recompression using patents as information source. In order to collect that information, it was used as tool the Questel Orbit® platform, applying the keywords “Desalination”, “Vapor”, “Recompression”, and “Mechanical”, combining Boolean and truncation operators. Macro-, Meso-, and Microanalysis were carried out with objective of identifying the main technological characteristics related to desalination by distillation through vapor recompression. The applications of the vapor recompression distillation are extensive and are in constant development, mainly in the areas of mechanical recompression of vapor and thermal recompression of steam. The main raw material used for the production was seawater, as known as brine.
