Essential oil distillation involves creating a concentrated, hydrophobic liquid that contains volatile chemical compounds derived from plants. These oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea, or simply the oil of the plant from which they are extracted.
Essential oils are typically obtained through distillation, often using steam. We offer methods for producing essential oils, specifically through our Steam Distillation Unit.
Steam Distillation Unit
The units come in vessel sizes of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 liters, suitable for atmospheric pressure and entire vacuum operations.
Steam distillation is a separation method involving distilling water and other volatile and non-volatile components.
In this process, water is heated separately in a spherical vessel. The steam from the boiling water is directed into the reactor, where it interacts with masses of trees and plants. This steam carries the vapors of volatile substances to a condenser, where they are cooled and returned to a liquid or solid state. Meanwhile, the non-volatile residues are left behind in the reactor.
