ABSTRACT:
A steam distillation apparatus is provided which has a column body, a head connected to one end of the column body which has a diameter larger than the column body, a sump connected to the other end of the column body and contact elements disposed within the column body which are positioned and arranged to avoid formation of preferential pathways for the steam passing through the column body while providing for ready flow of the material being steam distilled through the column body. The connection of the head and column body may be frustoconical in shape such that its diameter diminishes from a diameter corresponding with that of the head at its connection with the head to a diameter corresponding with that of the column body at its connection with the column body. A collar is positioned at the connection of the neck and column body and extends into the head to define an annular space between the neck and collar. The collar has at least one opening abutting the annular space for providing material to be steam distilled to a distributor positioned in the column body. Additionally, a cell may be provided for measuring the density of the steam distilled material and be connected to an arrangement for regulating temperature of material to be steam distilled by an electronic temperature control circuit for enabling regulating the density of the steam distilled material by regulating the temperature of the material to be steam distilled.
