FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to equipment for processing essential oils. Proposed apparatus comprises tight container, distillation chamber, kiln, steam-boiler, pipelines, refrigerator, and separating flask. Distillation chamber is enclosed in tight container. Rectangular chimneys are placed in said container. Note here that said chimneys feature a square shape at container bottom while, with their length increasing, they vary their shape to elongated rectangle.
