Abstract

A system and process for manufacturing deoxidized water by the step of dissolving inert gas such as carbon dioxide into available water in a fine bubbled condition for exchange with oxygen in the water. The system includes an upright packed tower (21) having an upper end portion provided with an inlet connected to a source of water (27a) to be deoxidized and a bottom portion provided with an outlet connected to a storage tank (27b), multilayered packing elements (22) assembled within the packed tower (21), the packing elements each being in the form of a honeycomb structure formed with mutually crossed passages (22a, 22b) inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to an axial longitudinal direction of the packed tower, a primary supply device (23) for supplying inert gas into the packed tower, and a diffuser (23a) contained within the bottom portion of the packed tower and connected to the primary supply device (23) for diffusing the inert gas supplied therefrom into the interior of the packed tower in a fine bubbled condition.
