desalinates
Extracts ocean minerals
Desalinates means removes salt from something, typically seawater or brackish water to make it drinkable.
The process is called desalination: The plant desalinates enough seawater to supply the entire city.
Coastal regions with limited freshwater increasingly rely on facilities that desalinate ocean water.
