Title:

Solar-Biomass Hybrid Essential Oil Distillation Unit

 
Value Proposition:

Indigenous design with easy operation and maintenance.
Summary Application:

One of the major steps in aromatic oil plant cultivation is to extract the aromatic oil through a suitable process of extraction. CSIR NEIST has designed and developed different oil distillation units which have the features like easy to operation and maintenance, utilization of solar energy, moving type etc.
Advantages:
  • Tilting mechanism .
  • Low cost per unit.
  • Environmental friendly
  • Optimized arrangement of the components above a trolley for easy transportation to the scattered  small farmer's field.
  • Uses of Solar Energy reduced consumption of firewood about 40%-50%.
  • Distillation Still with a Lid (top cover)
