Title: CBM-produced water can be boiled and passed through a cooling chamber to remove contaminants
Text: "Distillation: Distillation is the process whereby water is boiled to form steam that is then passed through a cooling chamber and condensed to form 99.5% pure water. Contaminants such as bacteria, dissolved solids, heavy metals, hardness, nitrates, sodium, and many organics are removed in the distillation process."
