FIELD: treatment plants.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for distillation, purification or demineralisation of liquids. Device comprises a tower of superimposed subunits. Uppermost subunit being a vapor chamber 56, adapted for functioning under vacuum, an intermediate subunit 60 functioning as a heating chamber, and a lowest subunit functioning as a sedimentation chamber 64. a wall 68 partially separating the vapor chamber from the heating chamber 60. Device also comprises at least one heating unit 158, at least one shutter 152, 154 at the bottom of the intermediate subunit 60, disposed above the sedimentation chamber 64 to facilitate release of sediments into the sedimentation chamber, an intermediate storage container 122 for storing liquid at equilibrium pressure with the atmosphere, an inlet 62 for refilling the intermediate subunit by pumping an outlet 58 for releasing processed liquid from the uppermost vapor chamber to an external container.
EFFECT: system for the enrichment of at least one component in a source liquid containing at least two components intermixed.
