1. A distillation apparatus for removing a solvent from a feed solution and producing a concentrated solute with mechanical recompression of a vapor, the distillation apparatus comprising:
a pre-heating heat exchanger to receive and heat the feed solution from heat in an intermediate vapor previously produced from the vapor;
a plurality of at least two series connected heat exchangers to receive the feed solution from said pre-heating heat exchanger, to further heat the feed solution from heat in a compressed vapor, and there from produce the vapor and the concentrated solute;
a plurality of separators like in quantity to said plurality heat exchangers to separate the vapor and the concentrated solute produced in said plurality of said heat exchangers; and
a compressor to receive the vapor from said plurality of said separators and compress the vapor to produce said compressed vapor.
