I didn't mean to drink it, I meant to turn it into table salt.

Seems like there ought to be some kind of further usage of it.. industrial or otherwise.

I got that. For every liter of seawater that is desalinated, there would be ~35 grams of table salt. On a given day a person might use 4 grams of salt.

Given typical water usage, you quickly have salt for an awful lot of people (salt for hundreds of people per person consuming the water).

I guess other users would be welcome, even if they just take it for free that probably saves the desal plant on disposal costs.
