Claims5
A water processing device for removing contaminants from incoming feed water comprising:
- a) a heat exchanger or for heating incoming feed water end cooling outgoing product water;
- b) a boiler having a cavity and an upper surface and a bottom surface of the cavity for receiving and boiling the feed water from the heat exchanger to generate product in the form of steam;
- c) a heater for boiling said feed water in the boiler;
- d) a degasser for removing noncondensible gases from said feed water;
- e) a demister for removing droplets containing contaminants from the product steam, whereby the product steam exiting from the demister is cooled to liquid form in said heat exchanger and recovered as processed liquid product;
- and
- f) a mechanism for preventing and/or removing surface deposits from the surfaces of tile boiler.
