Abstract
Distillation apparatus for steam distilling of solvents is disclosed in combination with phase separation means which is readily adjustable to accommodate fluids which are either more dense or less dense than water. This is accomplished in the preferred embodiment by attaching a pipe to an appropriate opening in the phase separation means. This permits a readily changed operation from one solvent to another and permits standardization of manufacture to accommodate essentially all water immiscible solvents.
