PCT No. PCT/DK92/00051 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 8, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 8, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 21, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/14531 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 3, 1992An apparatus for distillation of a liquid near or above its critical point wherein the liquid contains a dissolved solid. The apparatus includes a separation section wherein the liquid may be separated into a vapor and a liquid residue separated by a liquid surface. The apparatus includes a pump for pumping liquid into the apparatus so as to establish and maintain the liquid and vapor in the separation section at a desired pressure and a heat source for heating the liquid and vapor so as to establish a rising temperature profile in the separation section. The pump and heat source are cooperatively controllable for regulating the position of the liquid surface so that liquid residue can be discharged from immediately below the liquid surface.
