Specialized facilities known as steam distillation plants are used to extract volatile chemicals such as essential oils from plant matter. Through the use of steam, the necessary aromatic and volatile components can be delicately and effectively separated from the plant matter in this distillation process. A distillation apparatus, which typically consists of a sizable still or distillation chamber, a condenser, and a collection vessel, is the brain of a steam distillation plant. Steam is first introduced into the distillation chamber, where it is passed through the plant matter to begin the process. The volatile chemicals and essential oils included in the plant material evaporate due to the heat from the steam.

The mixture is then passed through a condenser, where it is cooled and returned to a liquid condition by condensing. The resultant condensed liquid, also known as “hydrosol” or “distillate,” includes the essential oil together with water-soluble plant compounds. Since the essential oil is less dense than water, it floats to the top of the liquid and can be readily separated from the rest of the mixture. A common technique for creating essential oils, tastes, and perfumes from a range of plant sources, such as herbs, flowers, and citrus fruits, is steam distillation. Depending on the exact plant and the desired end product, these plants are placed into the distillation chamber either fresh or dried.
