Turmeric Leaf Oil Distillation Plant, Capacity: 5 TPD

A turmeric leaf oil steam distillation plant is a facility designed for extracting essential oil from turmeric leaves using the steam distillation process. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a spice widely used in culinary and traditional medicine, and its leaves contain valuable essential oil with various therapeutic properties.Here is a general description of the components and processes involved in a turmeric leaf oil steam distillation plant:Raw Material Handling:Turmeric leaves are harvested and collected for processing.Leaves are cleaned and sorted to remove any impurities.Steam Generator:The steam distillation process requires steam to extract essential oil from the turmeric leaves.A steam generator produces steam, which is then passed through the turmeric leaves in the distillation chamber.Distillation Chamber:Turmeric leaves are placed in a distillation chamber or still, where steam is introduced.Steam helps to break down the oil glands in the leaves, releasing the essential oil.Condensation System:After the steam passes through the turmeric leaves and carries the essential oil with it, it enters a condensation system.The condensation system cools down the steam, causing it to condense into a liquid phase (water and essential oil mixture).Separation Unit:The condensed mixture then enters a separation unit where the essential oil, being lighter than water, separates and floats on top.The essential oil is collected separately from the water.Collection and Storage:The collected turmeric leaf essential oil is stored in suitable containers, such as glass or stainless steel containers, to maintain its purity and quality.
