Lemon Eucalyptus (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

A Lemon eucalyptus leaves oil distillation plant is a specialized facility dedicated to extracting essential oil from the leaves of the lemon eucalyptus tree (Corymbia citriodora or Eucalyptus citriodora). Known for its fresh, lemon-scented aroma and potent insect-repellent properties, lemon eucalyptus oil is widely used in aromatherapy, natural insect repellents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

The extraction process primarily involves steam distillation, where fresh or partially dried lemon eucalyptus leaves are loaded into stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the leaves, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. These vapors are then condensed and separated to yield pure essential oil. The oil is filtered and stored in airtight, dark containers to maintain its potency and fragrance.

Modern lemon eucalyptus oil distillation plants are equipped with efficient steam boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation vessels, condensers, and oil separators, along with automated controls to optimize temperature and pressure, ensuring maximum oil yield and high-quality output. The oil contains key constituents such as citronellal, which is responsible for its characteristic lemon scent and insect-repellent effectiveness. The plant operates under strict hygiene and quality control standards to produce premium-grade oil suitable for diverse industrial and therapeutic applications.
