Apparently similar small machines are also part of this desalination process.

显然，类似的小型机器也是该海水淡化过程的一部分。

The desalination process is incredibly energy-intensive and the water produced from the plant will cost about twice as much as traditional tap water.

海水淡化过程是令人难以置信的密集型能源, 而且工厂的这种水资源的生产成本约是传统自来水的2倍。

The desalination process traditionally takes a lot of energy. A plant this size would normally use as much energy in a single day as 70 homes in a year.

传统上来说，这种脱盐方法将会消耗大量的能量。一般这种规模的淡水厂一天所消耗的能量，等于70户家庭一年的消耗量。
