1. A system for treating a fluid, the system comprising:
at least one reactor configured to receive the fluid to be treated, the at least one reactor configured to heat the fluid to be treated to a temperature, the temperature being at least 300° F.;
wherein the at least one reactor is configured to be operated with an interior pressure above atmospheric pressure such that the fluid to be treated is maintained as a liquid while in the at least one reactor; and
wherein at least some of dissolved solids contained in the fluid to be treated are configured to form insoluble materials within the at least one reactor; and
a filtering subsystem configured to receive the fluid to be treated from the at least one reactor, the filtering subsystem being configured to remove at least some of the insoluble materials from the fluid being treated.
