CASE STUDY - ESSENTIAL OIL PURIFICATION
CASE STUDY - ESSENTIAL OIL PURIFICATION Need: Customer needed to isolate high value compounds (essential oils) out of resins from natural products. Process: TMC uses a combination of centrifugal molecular distillation (CMS) followed by fractionation in a glass column still. Centrifugal Molecular Distillation Rate: 20 lbs. / hr. (pilot stills) to 200 lbs. / hr. (production stills) Temp: Processed under vacuum between 100° - 250° C Duration: 1-2 seconds Fractional Distillation Rate: up to 30 lbs. / hr. Temp: 25° - 300° C Theoretical Plates: 20 - 50 Benets: – Isolation of high valued compounds – Purity levels > 90% – Improved aroma – No capital outlay – Removed color – Rapid turnaround – Better clarity Our Centrifugal Molecular Distillation selectively concentrates the desired com
