        abstract = {Excessive energy consumption is a significant challenge for geranium oil extraction plants. To address this, we conducted both theoretical and practical analyses, including a site visit to identify causes of high energy use and to measure current consumption rates. We implemented two engineering solutions: first, integrating condenser hot water into the boiler, which reduced fuel use and increased steam production, achieving a 12.6% energy saving; second, pre-drying geranium leaves before steam distillation, which reduced energy consumption by up to 9%.},
