Myrrh Opoponax Gums & Resins Distillation Plant

A gums and resins distillation plant is a facility that extracts essential oils, aromatic compounds, and resinous materials from natural gums and resins such as frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, and copal. These extracts are highly valued in the perfume, incense, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and aromatherapy industries.

Key Processes in a Gums & Resins Distillation Plant

• Raw Material Preparation: Gums and resins are cleaned, crushed or ground to enhance the extraction process.
• Steam or Dry Distillation: The material is subjected to heat (often with steam) to release volatile aromatic compounds.
• Condensation and Oil Separation: Vapors are condensed, and essential oils are separated from the resinous water.
• Filtration and Purification: The oils are filtered to remove impurities and improve clarity.
• Packaging and Storage: Extracted oils and residual resins are packed and stored in airtight containers to preserve their quality.
