Essential Oil Distillation Process

- Essential oil is produced when steam rises through plant material and is then cooled back into liquid. A glass essencier collects the distillate and separates the oil from the hydrosol. This video features Blue Ridge Aromatics and its founder, Ian Montgomery. Ian walks us through the process of distillation, points out the various components of the still, and finishes by bottling the essential oil. Please be sure to watch the companion video, Blue Ridge Aromatics Q&A for an important discussion on safety and sustainability of essential oil production.
This is absolutely the best explanation that i have seen yet online, you know your craft well, thank you
О чём говориться в этом видео !
Из чего он выделяет эфирное масло ?
That's a serious still you got there :)
How much water are you evaporating during an essential oil run like this?
I'm just starting into this road of making essential oils with my one housemate. Though you do things on a very large scale compared to what we will be doing, you made it very easy to understand the process. Thank you!
From Australia (that other State of the USA...along with Canada) Thank you for sharing...The energy that goes into the process is an important component as some may realise... - We enjoyed the video as a family.
(From Carolyn's husband Terry)...I use a 4 day 180 proof alcohol soak ahead of distillation with finely ground product. I believe I get 10 times the essential oil by utilizing this pre-distillation step, but I'm pretty new at this. I have only made salves so far. 1/2 lb of hemp root bulk resulted in 16 oz of essential oil and alcohol mixed. By comparison with input versus output the process leaves about 40% alcohol mixed in the essential oil. This then separates from the salve by constant stirring as it cools. 5 oz of alcohol separated from the salve while stirring . A small amount of the alcohol remained in the roughly 1 quart of salve made....perhaps 1-2 oz per my guesstimate. I'm not upset by the alcohol remaining as I believe that minor residual alcohol in a salve benefits transdermal efficacy.
Great video, great aparatus. I would definitely buy oils from you :)
Just wanted to mention.. I greatly appreciate you sharing this with the world! Looking at your site now and highly interested in ordering oils asap
Something I have been wanting to know - thanks for sharing this process.
(Terry) Thanks for the video, I like your system. Mine is home use, similar in effect but stainless 6 quart. I use the old copper coil condenser system. Few in essence production seem aware of the benefits of copper's beneficial neutralizing effects. I studied distillation on and off for a couple of years before building my own. That doesn't mean I don't have more to learn of course. All the best in your efforts. Hope this adds to your production outcomes
The 10:15 is basically a manually controlled Dean Stark trap / apparatus. You can also use the separatory funnel if you don't need continues operation.
I totally love the way you present each herb. I have been studying with my sis many years. No school either. I have learned more from you than I have ever learned. Thank you so much!!! Keep up the great work you do for all of us!!
Is there any way to order from Canada? The site appears to be only USA.. that is unfortunate.
Hi, this is Steve Yin from China. We can build industrial-scale essential oil steam distillation units. Equipment made of stainless steel which is completely sanitary for food grade. I think maybe you will need our equipment/units when you want to expand your business in future. Please let me know if you are interested.
What about equipment? If we need it or want to buy then what to do? India Mumbai. Plz give me link or catalauge to choose.
You have definitely mastered it , gives me information as I have recently become interested in this process, I hope to give it enough time and devotion and reach your level of talent. Cheers
Good job, what about your loss of volatile vapor at the discharge of heat exchanger which is in atmosphoric, i would suggest a covered trap / funnel would do a over condensing and no escape of vapours, agree?
wau! thats nice just a simple way of extracting essential oil, i work with oil extracting company and i would like to learn more from you about distillations
This was great video... going to use it to teach real world applications of distillation to my science class. thanks.
This is Awesome! Would lovee to start a Business doing Exactly this!
Hi where i can buy that kind of dustiller here in los angeles, california? Thank you.
Would this work too extract oil from urine as well oils from the body?
Thank you very much for your great work and share.
What do you do with the hydrofoil? Is it of any use? And then what do you do with the remaining plant matter?
I mean you can't eat or cook after being boiled highest temperature distilling for long period of 10-14 hours amount of large of herbs and fruit.I think the best way they use for remaining plant matter to give the plant back make into recycle material?. I mean plant can take anything even recycling, pass motion material after being extract, charcoal left over and many more etc. So it would not go to waste rather than throw or throw into garbage or even incinerate it.
Would you make rose oil the same way , or should you boil your pedals in the water ?
What is that video thumbnail imagik?
Thank you for this video! Great instructions on the subject.
Where would I buy this equipment
Where can we buy the still like that and how much is one as big as that?
How efficient would you say this set up is? Did you get it custom made? If not I would like to know where can I acquire a similar one. Thanks
They're all custom technically. He said he had the stainless steel 55 gallon drum cut and polished, the gaskets he used were $2 silicone rings from Home Depot, the condenser was custom with the three tubes inserted and he even joked about how his welding wasn't cute but very effective.
Distilling isn't a one size fits all kinda setup....ancient native Americans used handmade clay pots sitting over a fire, similar to a witch's cauldron. Distilling is more understanding how distilling works, and you constructing what you need from there 👌🏾
what kind of sep funnel is that? if i wanted to look one up what do you call it?
Stainless steel drums would be good for water distilling! Water is very precious if it's contaminated. Not to mention itd be good to steam wood.
There's a chemical used to extract oil, that's how paprika is made. The chemical extracts the oil, then the chemical.is evaporated the oil.
Good explanation! May I ask you where you got your bottles and temper caps from? Also, where do you have your labels made? I’m starting out on lemongrass and other essential oils business and any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Love your distiller. I hope my husband can build us one because distillers are very expensive.
Im also planning to have one oil distiller for my lemon grass plantation
now i appreciate why essential oils are expensive. I mean i just bought a 15ml bottle for nearly $20 lol
Where did you buy it from?
Hexane might be used, where it removes the oil from plants or seeds, then it's evaporated from the oil.
Can Avocado oil be extracted in this manner? Avocado pulp can be dried till it becomes dark brown. After that, can the dried pulp be used to extract oil ?
Thanks for video 👍
Hey Ian - where did you get your essencier? I can't seem to find anything like it, at least not adjustable.
Brilliant video
A work of passionate and rare ppl.
you home must be fragrant.
your wisdom must be fragrant.
your neighbourhood must be fragrant.
Even fragrance must be leading to ur address. Love from Pakistan.
REALLY LOVELY INSPIRING AND HUMBLING VIDEO - THANK YOU
that is exactly the kind of oil i would be making.. i love any wood essential oil. I was about to order from your site, but i live in Canada :(
what capacity still yo have here?
I've received Jasmine sambac absolute but after some days it absolute oils become two layers ,let me know what's the reasons
Just wanted to ask, at end you showed the oil having few water droplets. What can be done to avoid that? To remove the water droplets from oil? And thanks for explaining the complete procedure. Really helpful
How Many Watt is the Element Heater ???
what are the usages of this specific oil?
Do you use stainless over glass as a preference or because of cost and availability of materials for that sized container? I am curious about using glass specifically as it relates to using a round bottom flask and glass condenser, compared to using stainless steel equipment.
OMG! So much love in every movement. Beautiful!
Yes, yes, after watching this, I will certainly pay gold prices for my essential oils.
merhaba Türkiye'den ... çok iyi bir video, mükemmel! bir sorum var, bitki ve su aynı tencerede olacak mı, yoksa su aşağıda ve bitki üstte ayrı olacak mı? is it important?
I loved how well you’ve explained what you do. Just curious if plant matter is the only things you can use?
How much is that machine...
Can I distill poison ivy plants
Por favor si lo pudiera tradusir ,al español,gracias. Su vídeo lo ven personas que queremos entenderlo mas,pero no saben este idioma .
Have you extracted gingger oil with steam destilation like that?
What temperature do you steam with and how do you know when to stop before burning anything?
Impressive, can you make Orange oil from the same setup of machinery.
Can you put meat in there?
Where did you buy your gear?
thanks mate, what about the water part ? that must contain water soluble from the plant could it be reduced to a condensed form ?
Don't use your hand as a mallet my man. Thank you for the demonstration!!!
How many littre if water we put for every kilo of herbs please i gave a small lambic ?
Could you use a bike inner tube as the gasket? would be wider so your lid would fit easier.
Nice video. Love the distiller set up.
This guy is hot AF

. I DO NEEM AND PIMENTO OIL
hi there, I really appreciate the insightful video!
I know I am a bit late in commenting as the video was posted in 2016 but I just seen it today. Satisfying to see as Shannon pointed out :-) Do you sell your oils online or is there a way of getting some of your oils. I feel there is some more healing energy in something when you know the source and the spirit they put in it. Thank you for the video!
Great video... What material is the barrel is it Stainless or Polished mild steel?
What is this material
Good job
I am new
Does anyone know where to buy an essencier like that or similar?
great vid! I love the homemade innovative stainless rig! simple and effective!
😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😝
What's the music around 09:00?
Where did you buy your barrels? I would like to make my own setup. I will have lots of cedar and other trees to distill oils.
Ты Сделал себе перегонный куб для эфирных масел кедра ?
Great video. This is the best one I’ve found
That is a really big setup, and very efficient I would say. That is big amount of oil extracted pretty quickly.
Where can I buy your distiller?
Where did you get your distiller from ?
i wonder if the pine needles is dried and what kind of tools you used to shred it
woweeeeeee
Where did you get that separator! Its lovely.
Can you put the material in the water?
I love that big apparatus you built.
Really cool video! Well made video too. Nice work!
شكرا لك شرح جيد و مفيد .. نرجو مزيد من الفيديوات في هدا المجال
Thanks. Love the set up.
Can I get oil mixed with hydro salve..
What are three products of the out come of this procedure..
Great VDO , thanks so much for sharing. 👍👍
video
200ml for about 100lbs of mat. No wonder that stuff is expensive
this is less than 0,4% yield. .. seems a little low.
Well explained. Thank you 👌🏻
What r the uses of hydrosol
enjoyable and useful video it is when we let the experience talk
Whats the use essential oil
Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Do you guys make a living with this?
We also have a distillery
This is from where?
Is essential oil safe to consume thank you Vernon
Great video! I'm wondering why lower pressure is better though - is it because high pressure can lead to higher boiling temperature which could burn whatever you're extracting? Or is there some other reason?
Higher pressure leads to over oxidation
How much is that, want to buy one?
