Thermal Desalinator
Heats saline water into vapor to collect it as clean water. Produces brine as a byproduct. Not really efficient but does the job.

| Workers |  4 |

| Required Research | Thermal Desalination |
| Designation | Water Extraction & Processing  |
The Thermal Desalinator is a machine which converts Seawater and either Steam (High), Steam (Low), or Steam Depleted into Water and Brine. Due to its high Electricity costs, it is vastly more efficient to utilize alternate sources of Water, such as Groundwater Pumps if there is a sufficient supply of rainfall to replenish groundwater aquifers or a Groundwater Well if one has been discovered/repaired.
The Brine byproduct can be utilized in Electrolyzers to create Chlorine to treat Waste Water or in fed into Wastewater Treatment machines to convert Toxic Slurry into Slag. The Evaporation Pond and Evaporation Pond (Heated) can also process Brine into Salt, however due to the greatly elevated Electricity requirements of Thermal Desalinators, production of Salt from Seawater is several times more energy efficient.
