For distillation of aromatic oil different kinds of plants are in use. It depends upon the area/volume, kind of material to be distilled and the investmet. For small area having crops like lemongrass, Mentha and othe species, plant costing Rs.75000-80000 will work. And if it is spice or material like nagarmotha boiler operated plant will be suitable and may cost5-10 lakhs, depending upon per day availablity of raw materia.

Dear Sir

u tell me where are u located i vll provide the nearest unit suppliers or a visit for u.

Lemongrass is distilled in copper stills of about 100 kg capacity by steam distillation, or water and steam distillation process. Time required for one distillation is about two hours including the time required for charging and discharging, provided the firewood is well dried and of good quality. For one distillation, about 40 kg of firewood is required. A light yellow, lemon-scented volatile oil is obtained. Providing a perforated disc just above the water level in the copper still will be helpful to produce oil of better quality. This method is known as water and steam method. When crop area is large enough, steam method is found to be more economical. Coal is used as fuel.
