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