A self-regulating vacuum still (8) has a fluid reservoir (10), a boiler (28), a vapor separator (46), a condenser (33), and a condensate reservoir (58). The boiler (28) receives fluid from the fluid reservoir (10) in liquid form and heats the fluid to generate fluid vapor, preferably using evacuated solar tubes (44). The vapor separator (46) receives the fluid vapor from the boiler (28) and separates entrained moisture. Preferably a packing (50) is provided by structured wire mesh which is disposed in a vapor outlet (49) from the vapor separator (46). The condenser (33) receives the fluid vapor from the vapor separator (46), and cools the fluid vapor to a condensate. The condenser (3) has a collection section (34), a condensate section (35) and an outlet (16) which is proximate to the collection section (34) and the condensate section (35). An airlock (20) is connected to the outlet (16) for venting air and fluid vapor from the condenser (33) when a preselected pressure is exceeded. A condensate reservoir (58) is connected to the condenser (33) for receiving condensate.

Various embodiments may include a system for removing contaminants from contaminated water comprising: a distillation still supplying heat to contaminated water to boil the contaminated water; a vent allowing a vapor stream to exit the distillation still; an oxidation unit removing additional contaminants from the vapor stream; an outlet discharging a purified water stream from the oxidation unit; and a heat exchanger transferring heat from the purified water stream leaving the oxidation unit to the vapor stream exiting the distillation still before the vapor stream enters the oxidation unit.

A debinder provides for debinding printed green parts in an additive manufacturing system. The debinder can include a storage chamber, a process chamber, a distill chamber, a waste chamber, and a condenser. The storage chamber stores a liquid solvent for debinding the green part. The process chamber debinds the green part using a volume of the liquid solvent transferred from the storage chamber. The distill chamber collects a solution drained from the process chamber and produces a solvent vapor from the solution. The condenser condenses the solvent vapor to the liquid solvent and transfer the liquid solvent to the storage chamber. The waste chamber collects a waste component of the solution.
