Lemon Verbena (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

A Lemon Verbena leaves oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the leaves of the lemon verbena plant (Aloysia citrodora). Renowned for its strong, fresh lemon fragrance, lemon verbena oil is widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and natural health products for its calming and digestive benefits.

The oil extraction is primarily carried out through steam distillation, where fresh or dried lemon verbena leaves are placed in stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. These vapors are then condensed and separated to obtain pure essential oil. The oil is carefully filtered and stored in airtight containers to preserve its delicate aroma and therapeutic properties.

Modern lemon verbena distillation plants are equipped with efficient boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and oil separators. Automated temperature and pressure controls optimize the extraction process, ensuring maximum oil yield and quality. The oil contains key components such as citral, geraniol, and limonene, contributing to its characteristic scent and health benefits. The plant maintains strict quality and hygiene standards to produce premium-grade lemon verbena oil for diverse applications.
