The Gains Of Essential Oil Distillation

By Lelia Hall


There are several methods when it comes to extracting essential oil from plant materials. One most effective method is steam distillation. This method uses haze which is passed over the plant materials then picks up the essential lubricant as expected. The mist is condensed back where the lubricant and water will be separated.

One main advantage of the method is the act of producing pure lubricant. It is important to use a good essential oil distiller to achieve the goal. Other means like solvent extraction can yield the product which has the needed chemical by-product. You need to be sure of the methods to get the right result.

The three parts of the distillation tools include the still or retort, the separator and the condenser. Plants materials are introduced into the retort where it comes to be with the mist. The container is large enough to hold the plant materials and it is also strong enough to withstand the pressure or heat of the steam.

The materials can dwell in the water where it is boiled for steam production or known as hydrodistillation. It can be acquired above the liquid by using screen or grate. The method is also called wet steam. The water can be placed in a separate container where the haze is produced below through the pipes used.

The heat from the steam can break open the fibers of the plant to expose the oil where it will be picked up as it passes by. The combination will then leave and pass through the condenser. The component can simply be in a form of pipe or coil of copper tubing. The purpose is basically to change the state from water vapor to liquid.

The by-product of this process can accelerate by applying refrigeration method or by using ice. It can give you the surface area needed for the moisture to escape. The overall combination of those products must pass through its condenser then to its separator. The container should be made of glass to fully hold the liquid.

The separator is specially made to allow the essential oil to be removed for bottling. The liquid that is left after the skim method can still have a useful purpose. This is the case with the lavender. After the pure lavender is removed, the remaining product called hydrosol still can be used to make a pleasant aroma. It can also be used to freshen the laundry or use to make air freshener.

The distillation equipment is also available in various forms. Some of them look like a small stove and others are formed like large commercial tools that are used by companies to manufacture oil products. The amount of the extracted product from those plant materials is indeed important for the production. It depends on the material that is distilled to produce the output.

You can buy your own distillation equipment or tool. It is always good to consider the methods first before the tool that will be used. You have to ensure that the methods are effective to get the best outcome.
