A method of remediating water contaminated by dissolved gases and liquids and suspended particles wherein the contaminated water is collected into a closed container without filling the container and heated to a temperature below the boiling point of water. Negative pressure is then drawn on the closed container without causing the water in the container to boil, whereby the dissolved gases and liquids in the contaminated water, having a boiling point lower than water, will evaporate out of the water into the head space above the water in the container. Finally, atmospheric air and/or oxygen are allowed into the container to push the vapors out of the head space of the container.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]collecting the contaminated water solution into a closed container without filling it;heating the solution in the container to a temperature below its boiling point;drawing a negative pressure on the closed container without causing the solution in the container to boil;whereby the dissolved gases and liquids in the contaminated water solution having a boiling point lower than the solution will evaporate out of the solution into the head space above the solution in the container;directing atmospheric air into the container in a continuous flow into the heated solution to bubble through the solution to help evaporate and entrain contaminants to be carried into the vapor contained in the head space of the container and push the contaminated vapors out of the head space of the container; andallowing oxygen into the container to oxidize the contaminants in the container.
