  • Cook peel oil distillation system
    Publication number: 20180223221
    Abstract: A hollow vessel operated under vacuum receives whole orange peel delivered by a conveyor. The peel is heated indirectly by steam. Oil and water present in the peel evaporates and is drawn off to be condensed, captured and separated. Separation is by decantation. Operation under vacuum lowers the boiling point of the oil. Steam condensate is collected for reuse. The exiting peel discharges from the vessel and is conveyed away for further processing.
