Who Will Find This Book Essential?

Professionals and gradutates with a keen interest in the distillation and extraction industry, with a focus on large scale chemical extraction, there is a will find this book one of the best around. Don't expect simple DIY information, the is the nitty gritty!

What's Inside

The book is broken up with the few few hundred pages on the process of separation and extraction, the next section on extraction acetones and alcohols, the next on Petrolum and a small section at the end dedicated to essential oils, steam and water distillation.

This is a study guide for experts and the maths and calculations are not for the amateur home hobbist. This is the theoretical stuff.
