A system for the enrichment of at least one component in a source liquid containing at least two components intermixed. The system includes: a tower of superimposed subunits, the uppermost subunit being a vapor chamber; an intermediate subunit functioning as a heating chamber; and a lowest subunit functioning as a sedimentation chamber; a wall partially separating the vapor chamber from the heating chamber; at least one heating unit; at least one shutter at the bottom of the intermediate subunit disposed above the sedimentation chamber to facilitate release of sediments into the sedimentation chamber; an intermediate storage container for storing liquid at equilibrium pressure with the atmosphere; an inlet for refilling the intermediate subunit by pumping; and an outlet for releasing processed liquid from the uppermost vapor chamber to an external container.
