Sandal Wood Absolute Solvent Extraction Plant

A Sandalwood Absolute Solvent Extraction Plant is a specialized facility that extracts aromatic compounds from sandalwood (Santalum album) using solvent-based methods to produce high-purity sandalwood absolute, commonly used in perfumery and aromatherapy. The process begins with grinding the sandalwood heartwood, followed by solvent extraction using food-grade solvents like hexane or ethanol. The resulting mixture undergoes filtration and evaporation to separate the extract from the solvent. The concentrated extract, known as a "concrete," is further processed with alcohol to obtain the final absolute, a highly fragrant and refined oil. This plant requires precision equipment, including extraction vessels, vacuum evaporators, and temperature-controlled filtration systems to ensure quality and preserve the delicate aromatic profile of sandalwood.
