Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi Azam, > Hi guys & gals, > I am desperately looking for some help on building a commercial hydro-distillation still for EOs of flowers and certain herbs. Can anyone out there help me? > Azam Even folks who might know how to make one for themselves could provide you no more than mechanical drawings and specifications for fittings and metallurgy, etc. You're talking about a MAJOR INVESTMENT here .. and I know for a fact there are a few dozen commercial HydroStills in India .. and likely a few hundred mechanical engineers who have the knowledge to construct such a still. Constructing stills is like building automobiles .. they will work with the least amount of technology but to get the proper efficiency where one doesn't waste money .. they have to be technically perfect .. down to the silly micrometer. My friend, Namit Mumcuoglu, here in Turkey is working with a customer of mine in Bosnia and Herzegovina to construct a number of distillation systems .. but nobody does this pro bono. If you find someone who will agree to do so then you are likely to loose a lot of money on the deal. Talk to some of the many folks who are using steam distillation and hydrodistillation in India .. they are the folks who can help you. :-) Y'all keep smiling.
