Essential Oil Distillation Plant - Stainless Steel Construction | Manual Control System, Compact Design, Versatile Extraction Methods, Optimized Cooling System

A pilot essential oil distillation plant is a compact and versatile facility designed for the extraction of essential oils from various plant materials. It serves as a small-scale version of a larger distillation plant, allowing for research, development, and testing of different botanical sources and extraction methods. Here is a general description of the key components and features commonly found in such a plant:

Distillation Unit:

Distillation Vessel: The heart of the plant, where the plant material is heated to release essential oils and other volatile compounds.
Heating System: Typically employs steam or direct heating to raise the temperature of the plant material.
Condenser: Converts the vaporized essential oils back into liquid form through cooling.
Boiler or Steam Generator:

Generates steam required for the distillation process.
Ensures a steady and controlled supply of steam to the distillation vessel.
Cooling System:

Keeps the distillation unit and condenser at the optimal temperature.
May include water or air-cooled systems to facilitate condensation.
Collection System:

Collects and separates the essential oil from the condensed vapor.
Typically consists of a separator or collection vessel.
