desalination plants
Ocean water processors
Desalination plants are industrial facilities that remove salt and other minerals from seawater or brackish water to produce fresh water for drinking, agriculture, or industry.
The process typically uses reverse osmosis or distillation.
Desalination has become increasingly important in arid coastal regions: Saudi Arabia relies heavily on desalination plants for its water supply.
