The plant uses the so-called "flash" process, by which heated sea water is forced through a series of low-pressure chambers until it vaporizes into steam, which, in turn, condenses into pure water-much as steam condenses on the surface of a tea kettle. Fifteen years ago, desalination cost up to $5 per 1,000 gallons; with the flash method, it now costs...
