System for decontaminating water and generating water vapor

A method for removing contaminates from water and generating vapor, comprising the steps of:

• orienting a vessel having an inner chamber generally horizontally;
• introducing a water having contaminates into the inner chamber of the vessel;
• moving the water through a series of rotating trays alternately separated by fixed baffles;
• forcing the water through a plurality of scoops through each of the trays, wherein the scoops are configured to have an inlet of a first diameter and an outlet of a second smaller diameter, so as to swirl and heat the water to effect the vaporization thereof to produce a vapor having at least some of the contaminates separated therefrom due to the rotating of the trays at a sufficient velocity;
• directing the water through a plurality of apertures through each of the baffles, wherein the apertures are configured to have an inlet or a first diameter and an outlet of a second smaller diameter;
• rotating the series of trays at a seed whereby a temperature of the vapor is raised to a pasteurization temperature;
• removing the vapor from the vessel for condensing apart from the separated contaminates and remaining water;
• and
• reprocessing the separated contaminates and water by recirculating the separated contaminants and water through the vessel.

A method for generating vapor, comprising the steps of:

• orienting a vessel having an inner chamber generally horizontally;
• introducing a water into the inner chamber of the vessel;
• moving the water through a series of rotating trays alternately separated by stationary baffles;
• rotating the trays and forcing the water through a plurality of scoops through each of the trays, wherein the scoops are configured to have an inlet of a first diameter and an outlet of a second smaller diameter, the rotating being at a sufficient velocity so as to swirl and heat the water to effect the vaporization of the water to produce a vapor of a predetermined temperature and pressure;
• directing the water through a plurality of apertures through each of the baffles, wherein the apertures are configured to have an inlet of a first diameter and an outlet of a second smaller diameter;
• rotating the series of trays at a speed whereby a temperature of the vapor is raised to a pasteurization temperature;
• and
• passing the vapor through a turbine operably connected to an electric generator.
