Project Background P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review What is an Essential Oil Distiller? Device that extracts oils from plant matter: 1)Water is boiled to create steam 2)Steam is passed over plant matter 3)Oils from plant matter are extracted with steam 4)Steam & oil rise up and travel to condenser 5)Mixture is exposed to cool water and condenses 6)Oil is separated from water We want to sell the produced oils to local Fair Trade stores in the Rochester area http://www.anandaapothecary.com/images3/distillation.gif

Current State P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Right now, farmers in Borgne, Haiti: Have little to no source of income Plant crops purely for consumption Are faced with deforestation and errosion problems Move to larger cities in hopes of finding work http://www.realhopeforhaiti.org/wp- content/uploads/2012/09/034-625x640.jpg http://media.web.britannica.com/eb-media/64/104264- 004-55263CDB.jpg

Slide 8

Desired State P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review We aim to: Create a feasable source of income from distilled oils Provide an environmentally friendly solution that does not deplete existing fuel sources or require reccuring fuel purchases Form a basis for future MSD projects to build upon, improve, and scale-up

Slide 9

Deliverables Working prototype Maximize use of sustainable energy resources Low maintenance and operation cost Produce oil with sufficient quality to be marketed A potential source of income for Haitian farmers A starting point for future MSD projects P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review

Slide 15

Project Benchmarking P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Distilling Systems Benchmarked 10 distillers including home/hobbyist size, industrial size, and moonshine distillers Key Findings Dry steam systems provide the highest oil extraction but is usually reserved for high volume applications due to cost of the equipment Stainless steel is the most widely used material Most common fuel sources: propane, electric http://www.amazon.com/Liter-Stainless-Steel-Essential- Distiller/dp/B00AR0YGS0/ref=sr_1_7?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1410436052&sr=1-7 http://www.heartmagic.com/EssentialDistiller.html http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/High-quality-essential-oil- distiller_1824015237.html
