Your video is by far the best in explaining how steam distillation works. I thank you so much for making such a great effort to create it. I really appreciate it.

Beautiful video! Clear explanations, not too much excess noise or music. As someone who deals with chemistry glassware daily, you gave a marvelous description of how things work and why the setup is arranged the way it is. I was wondering, when you distill repeated batches of the same thing, do you reuse the same water/hydrosol for each batch and top up as needed, or do you use fresh water with every batch?

What a great design the fractioning column is... it's a very old design, used in many applications, water filtration, steam turbines.. even tesla used it's design in other applications maybe all the way to resonance vacuum tubing as in orgone gas...Hmmm

I was also curious if you ever did any distillation under vacuum. Your lab is so peaceful, I can understand how the noise of a vacuum compressor would not be welcome there, however performing the distillation under a partial vacuum would reduce the temperature required to volatilize the steam and the oils. I loved your video and appreciate how thoroughly you explained everything! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Hi, I perform some distillations such as rosemary and laurel, I have never tried to distill lemon balm because here it is said to have a low yield, interesting to know that it could make more if it distilled a day after the harvest and the method of storage inside the boiler. Thank you for a great informative video.

Hi Friend... thank you so much. Im rounding up my equipment now. Times are becoming harder and we are going backwards in time to live like oldNdays and we need these medicinals DIY asap. Your help appreciated. How does this compare to super critical c02 extraction? Is YOUR DISTILLATION method better/safer/purer? Any brief comment appreciated. Thanks so much !

enjoyed your video . thank you . how hard is it to clean for different oils, have you ever done cold boiling to open more plant cells for more extraction . you can see on the healing swamp. we cold boil tincturers oil infusions anything we put in any liquid.
@joewebster903

Your yield will double if you fully Dey the herbs then either steam distill or extract with supercritical fluid carbon dioxide which pulls out more of the essential oil before you purify further

I saw that you had a pretty decent hydrosol layer above your water and below your oil. Do you save the hydrosol separately and use it? If you were more interested in the oils that the hydrosol contains, could you put it back into the boiling flask so that the vigeraux column has another opportunity to separate the oil fraction?
@SoilSoulandSpirit

Yes, the hydrosol is saved and used in plant sprays, and for topical use on the body. And yes, you can put it back in to get more oils.

A quick search shows that these little devices the Clevenger extractor and the fractionator could run about $8,000. Do you have a source list or a good supplier you've worked with for this gear? I'm working with the Botanical company to make natural products and this would be a perfect setup for the essential oils we'd like to extract
@SoilSoulandSpirit

The clevenger and fractionator I use are glass devices using what are known as 24/40 size fittings. They are used in laboratories to extract up to 5 ml of oil at maximum. Pretty small quantities. To start a commercial extraction for a company would require much more production oriented equipment. The glassware I use in my shed works for me, it probably wouldn't work for a company.
