Steam Distillation

2. Vaccum Distillation Unit

Vacuum Distillation Unit is a sophisticated device that separates liquids with high boiling points or heat sensitivity. It operates at low pressure, lowering the boiling point of the components, reducing heat deterioration, and enabling separation.

This unit produces a vacuum within the system, enabling the distillation of substances at lower temperatures while maintaining their integrity and purity.

Vacuum Distillation Units are ideal for petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing sectors because they provide exact control over the distillation process, resulting in high-quality product extraction. Their versatility and efficiency make them essential for the synthesis of purified chemicals in a variety of applications.

Steam Distillation Process: How Steam Distillation Works?

Steam distillation involves passing steam through plant materials to vaporize the volatile compounds. These vapors are then condensed into liquid form, yielding pure essential oils. The process can be broken down into the following steps:

1. Steam Generation: Steam is generated in a separate boiler.

2. Steam Distillation: The steam passes through the plant material, causing essential oils to evaporate.

3. Volatile Compound Extraction: The steam carries the essential oils or volatile substances with it.

4. Condensation: The vapor mixture is condensed into a liquid using a cooling system.

5. Separation: The essential oil and water are separated, with the oil floating on top due to its lower density.

Steam Distillation Apparatus

The steam distillation apparatus consists of key components:

1. Boiler or Steam Generator: Produces steam for the process.

2. Distillation Chamber: Holds the plant material or raw material from which essential oils are extracted.

3. Condenser: Cools down the steam and converts it back to liquid form.

4. Separator: Separates the essential oil from the water.

At Goel Impex, we manufacture durable and efficient steam distillation units suited for research and commercial purposes.

Extraction of Essential Oils by Steam Distillation

The extraction of essential oils by steam distillation is one of the most common methods for obtaining pure and concentrated oils from plants like lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint. The method is highly effective in preserving the therapeutic properties of essential oils, making it the preferred choice for the fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Steam Distillation of Essential Oils

Essential oils from steam distillation are widely used in aromatherapy, skincare, and medicinal applications. The gentle process ensures that delicate compounds remain intact, enhancing the oil’s purity and effectiveness.
