SYSTEM FOR PURIFYING WATER BY REVERSE OSMOSIS AND DEGASSING THE SAME

摘要

Water to be purified and degassed is passed through a reverse osmosis step (14) which a pure water stream and a high pressure waste water stream are produced. The high pressure waste water is passed through an eductor (28) to produce a vacuum. The pure water stream is passed into a first volume of a degasifier and the vacuum is directed to a second volume (38) of the degasifier. The first and second volume of the degasifier are separated by a hydrophobic membrane (40).
