ABSTRACT
We constructed an open steam distillation column with the following specifications:-
FOR THE COLUMN
Height of column = 500mm
Length of pot = 50mm
Diameter of pot = 5mm
FOR THE STILL
Port of thickness = 500mm
Length of pot = 300mm
Diameter of pot = 100mm
FOR THE CONDESER
Condenser thickness = 2mm
Diameter of the connecting = 20mm
Pipe =
Length of pot = 200mm
Diameter of pot = 2mm
Generally, the material used in the construction (open steam distillation column) was mild steel sheet and galvanized sheet.
