Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a modular distillation system incorporating a removable capsule for containing source material for extraction. Through the action of the invention, the steam distillation process described herein produces a substantially larger amount of volatile oil than a distillation system that does not use an enclosed, modular system. The present invention provides for an apparatus that allows for greater contact between the steam and plant matter during the distillation process through the use of a closed removable capsule containing relatively small amount of plant matter. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a system that allows the generation of higher quality distillate and considerably higher quantity of volatile oil extracts by forcing the steam to evenly disperse through a removable capsule, and by preventing the condensed liquid to return back to the boiling water within the vessel.

Claim (Index 31):
A method for extracting volatile oils and hydrodistillate from organic matter, the method including the steps of:\n generating a vapor from a liquid that is stored in a vessel; directing the vapor through a detachable capsule configured to hold organic matter to form an infused vapor, wherein the detachable material container includes:\n a peripheral liquid collecting channel portion which surrounds the inlet port and is formed along a peripheral edge of a bottom floor of the detachable material container; and \n a plurality of step-sector elements integral to the bottom floor of the detachable material container and elevated therefrom, wherein each step-sector element includes a plurality of holes passing through a top surface of the step-sector elements and at least one side surface thereof; condensing the infused vapor after it has passed through the capsule; separating volatile oil from other constituents of the condensed hydrodistillate in a separating chamber; and collecting the oil at a first collection area that is external to the separating chamber; collecting the other constituents of the condensed hydrodistillate at a second collection area that is external to the separating chamber.
