Welcome to Distillation-MDP.Com!
As far as "Indian Essential Oil Indian (IEOI)" is concerned, it annually produces more or less 32,000MT of different "Natural Essential Oils" [e.g. Oils of MINTS, LEMONGRASS, CITRONELLA, PALMAROSA, PATCHOULI, MARIGOLD, VETIVER, SANDALWOOD, AGARWOOD etc). mostly BY USE OF DIRECT FIRED TYPE: Field Distillation Units (FDUs)" and "Live Steam Distillation Plants (LSDPs)" etc. The industry also loses an estimated 9,000-10,000MT of valuable "essential oils" (Worth Several billions of rupees) every year as a "PROCESS LOSS" due to one more inherent (inborn) drawbacks in many models of FDUs & LSDPs etc.
Other problem areas with most of these FDUs and LSDPs are:
- (i) Huge consumptions of fuel, man-hours and steam per batch of distillation-operation.
- (ii) Lengths of "distillation-period" per batch of respective raw-material are exceptionally high.
- (iii) Batch to batch inconsistency in terms of oil yields & oil qualities.
- (iv) Short life span of low-cost conventional FDUs & LSDPs,
- (v) Lacking in eco-friendly operations etc. and all the above factors together, like a silent killer, leads to high "cost of distillation" per MT of respective raw-maternal, high "production cost" of respective oil per kg and impaired marketability & competitivity and so on.
Who are the major victims:
- 1. Rural Farmers and Entrepreneurs at the grass-root level.
- 2. Respective oil-producing COUNTRY as a whole.
