A still is a piece of equipment used to separate liquid mixtures through a process called distillation. It works by heating a liquid to its boiling point to vaporize it, and then cooling the vapor to condense it back into a purer, more concentrated liquid called the distillate.

Our friends at Blue Canyon farm needed to extract essential oils from lavender plants through this process to create a vibrant, deeply scented lavender oil with just a bit of sass. We designed and fabricated a 45 gallon full stainless steel still to heat the lavender to its boiling point to vaporize it, and then cooled the vapor to condense it back into its concentrated liquid form used in their essential oil products. This custom metal fabrication project was built just for them and we can create a commercial kitchen design and fabrication solution for you, too!

Blue Canyon Farm offers artisan lavender products, including bath, body, culinary, and embroidered sachets, made from 19+ varieties of heirloom lavender.
