Abstract
A water treatment plant, having at least one storage container for storing water to be treated, an evaporator for evaporating the water to be treated, a condenser for condensing the water evaporated in the evaporator, the condenser being fed on the cooling water side with water to be treated, which is flowing to the evaporator. The storage container is arranged above the evaporator, and the condenser is arranged at the level of the base of the evaporator, the storage container being closable in an airtight manner and opening with an outlet into an overflow pot, the surface height of which is arranged slightly below a vapor outlet of the evaporator. The overflow pot is connected to the cooling water inlet of the condenser. A cooling water outlet of the condenser is connected to an inlet of the evaporator.

A treatment plant for water to be treated, comprising:
- at least one storage container configured to store the water to be treated,
- at least one evaporator configured to evaporate the water to be treated into vaporized water,
- at least one condenser configured to condense water evaporated in the evaporator into condensate water, wherein the condenser is fed on a cooling water side with water to be treated, which is flowing to the evaporator,
- wherein the storage container is arranged above the evaporator, and
- wherein the condenser is arranged at a level of a base of the evaporator,
- wherein the storage container is configured to be closable in an airtight manner and openable with an outlet into an overflow pot, a surface height of which is arranged slightly below a vapor outlet of the evaporator, and
- wherein the overflow pot is connected to a cooling water inlet of the condenser, and
- wherein a cooling water outlet of the condenser is connected to an inlet of the evaporator.
A process for the treatment of water to be treated, comprising the following steps:
- unpressurized preheating of water to be treated in a condenser on the cooling water side,
- evaporating the preheated water to be treated in an evaporator into vaporized water,
- passing the vaporized water through the condenser on a condensate side to form condensate water,
- storing the condensate water condensed in the condenser as distillate in a pressure-tight distillate tank,
- oxygenating the condensate water as distillate at a pressure between 100 bar and 300 bar by oxygen obtained from a previous electrolysis of part of the condensate water.
