Thyme Oil Distillation: First Oil From a Plant
Thyme oil distillation at a newly commissioned plant: how the Florentine flask separates thyme oil from hydrosol, and what affects oil quality.
Cohobation Unit: More Oil From Your Hydrosol
A cohobation unit redistills hydrosol to recover dissolved essential oil. Learn how it works and why it matters for rose oil yield.
Steam and Water Distillation: How It Works
Steam and water distillation combines direct steam and heated water for balanced extraction of essential oil and hydrosol. See a working plant.
Operator Training at a Distillation Plant
Good operator training turns a new distillation plant into a productive one. See how our team trains staff on site before handover.
Quick Opening Manhole on a Copper Still
A quick opening manhole lets the team load and empty a still in minutes. See the hand wheels, hinges and seal on a row of copper stills.
Wood-Fired Distillation: Start-Up on Site
Wood-fired distillation brings essential oil production to sites without a boiler or power line. See a unit during start-up on a hillside farm.
Distillation Column and Product Tanks
A distillation column with product tanks and a jacketed reactor separates fractions in a clean room. See how the layout keeps each product apart.
Condenser Column: Cooling the Rose Vapour
The condenser column turns rose vapour back into liquid and decides how cool the distillate leaves. See tall columns beside copper stills.
Bag Filter and Pump in a Distillation Plant
A bag filter and a transfer pump keep hydrosol clean and move it where it is needed. See how they work in a stainless steel distillation plant.
Basket Loading System for Faster Batches
A basket loading system with an electric hoist cuts loading time and keeps the team safe. See the platform, basket and still in a new plant.
