Title:

Cohobation Type Distillation Units

Value Proposition:

Hihly efficient Cohobation type distillation unit suitable for essentials oils.

Summary Application:

Cohobation type distillation unit which is more efficient, used for distillation of high value water miscible essential oils from aromatic crops like rose, geranium, lavender, chamomile etc.

Advantages:
  • Higher steam generation as more heating surface area
  • Made of all stainless steel for the high value essential oils
  • Incorporated with a packed stripping column
  • Lesser time for distillation approx 30-40 % time saving
  • More fuel efficient, 20-30% fuel saving
  • Less oil losses due to less vaporization and better oil separation device
  • Utilizes agro waste / spent distillation waste as fuel No smoke in work area due to provision of chimney
