Abstract
This chapter gives a deep insight in steam distillation design. With the steam distillation, the boiling point of high boilers is reduced. The steam is used as carrier medium for non-water-miscible components. The condensate of water and organic media is separated in a decanter. These and many other important aspects are covered in this chapter.
