Myrtle (Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant

A myrtle leaves oil distillation plant is a specialized facility designed to extract essential oil from the leaves of the myrtle plant (Myrtus communis). Myrtle oil is valued for its fresh, herbal, and slightly sweet aroma, widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and traditional medicine due to its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and respiratory benefits.

The extraction process primarily involves steam distillation, where freshly harvested myrtle leaves are loaded into stainless steel distillation chambers. Steam passes through the leaves, vaporizing the volatile aromatic compounds. These vapors are condensed and separated to collect pure essential oil. The oil is then filtered and stored in airtight, light-resistant containers to maintain its fragrance and therapeutic qualities.

Modern myrtle oil distillation plants feature high-efficiency boilers, corrosion-resistant distillation units, condensers, and oil separators, with automated controls for temperature and pressure to optimize oil yield and quality. The oil contains key constituents like myrtenyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, and alpha-pinene, contributing to its characteristic scent and health benefits. The facility adheres to strict quality and hygiene standards, producing premium-grade myrtle oil for use in diverse industrial and therapeutic applications.
