1. A contaminated water purification system to purify an amount of contaminated water having an aqueous component and at least one contaminant component, said system comprising:
a contaminated water storage assembly having a contaminated water storage tank to at least temporarily contain the amount of contaminated water prior to purification;
a purification assembly having a contaminated water inlet manifold and a purified steam discharge manifold;
a reactor assembly comprising at least one reactor unit disposed in fluid communication with said contaminated water inlet manifold, a portion of the amount of contaminated water is transferred from said contaminated water storage tank to said at least one reactor unit through said contaminated water inlet manifold;
a heater assembly having at least one heater unit mounted in said at least one reactor unit disposed and configured to contact the portion of the amount of contaminated water therein, said at least one heater unit converts at least some of the aqueous component of the amount of contaminated water into an amount of purified steam;
a steam conversion assembly comprising a steam conversion chamber, said purified steam discharge manifold disposed in fluid communication between said at least one reactor unit and said steam conversion chamber to transfer the amount of purified steam to said steam conversion chamber which condenses the amount of purified steam into an amount of purified water while the at least one contaminant component remains in said at least one reactor unit;
a chiller unit disposed in communication with said steam conversion chamber, said chiller unit generating an amount of cooling fluid therein; and
a purified water storage assembly having a purified water storage tank to hold the amount of purified water condensed from the amount of purified steam in said steam conversion chamber.
