Abstract
Steam distillation used to separate rosemary oil. This project focused on building steam distillation apparatus and how to extract oil and improve the quantity.
In the experimental part we design and install pilot plant steam distillation unit, and the capacity of steam distillation unit is determined to be 71 liter .
The steam distillation unit of 71 L capacity having proper condenser. The oil yield is 18g oil per 1 kg of dry rose marry.
The modification on reservoir is very important and contributed to increase of the yield.
