A machine or apparatus that removes salt from seawater or salt water.
From 'desalinate' plus the agent suffix '-or' (one that performs an action), following the pattern of 'generator,' 'separator,' etc.
Modern desalinator plants combine multiple technologies—some boil water (thermal), others push it through membranes (reverse osmosis)—and choosing which type depends on energy costs and local conditions.
