Agar Wood Bark Distillation Plant

A wood and bark distillation plant is a facility dedicated to extracting essential oils, resins, and other aromatic compounds from the wood and bark of trees such as sandalwood, cedarwood, cinnamon, and pine. These extracts are highly valued in perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and traditional medicine.

Key Processes in a Wood / Bark Distillation Plant

• Raw Material Preparation: Wood and bark are cleaned, chipped, or ground to increase surface area for extraction.
• Steam or Hydro Distillation: Steam is passed through the material to extract volatile oils and aromatic compounds.
• Condensation and Separation: The steam carrying the oil is condensed, and the essential oil is separated from the hydrosol.
• Filtration and Quality Testing: Extracted oils are filtered and tested for purity, fragrance profile, and chemical composition.
• Packaging and Storage: The final product is sealed in airtight, light-proof containers to preserve quality.

Applications

• Perfumery & Aromatherapy: Used as base notes and therapeutic ingredients.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Found in soaps, creams, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Known for antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and calming properties.
